2 of those sources are routine, explaining that he has been signed by the team. Almost every player in the world has one. Meanwhile the Hard Tackle one could count but that is just one, not enough for notability. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 10:12, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • He is now the youngest Indian footballer to sign a foreign contract! --Tito Dutta (contact) 10:17, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Does that matter? In fact the All India Football Federation sent a bunch of under-14 players to the IMG Academy in Florida which has produced players like Landon Donovan. Do they deserve pages? Uttam Rai signed for Grasshopper Club Zürich when he was around 13-14. Does he deserve a page? No. The point here is the Shinde maybe Indian born and now plays in the United States but he has not played for a professional football club yet, nor has he gained enough coverage to warrant an article. That is the reality here. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 11:08, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nominator's comment: Also note that him being an Indian footballer playing abroad does not count as notability. It is not as if he is the 1st one. He has not even done anything notable abroad anyway except for playing in the "4th tier" of American soccer. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 10:12, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dose he need a page : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ArsenalFan700/Uttam_Rai — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.56.224.79 (talk) 14:13, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • The Deletion Request Should Be Cancelled:Even i dont think Uttam Rai also need a page here !! He has also not done any grat for Indian football !! See i want to say clearly Shinde plays for 4th division ... that donot matter at all. He is the youngest Indian who plays abroad and is facing financial problem to go there and represent the club. He just wants a sponsor, who can sponsor his airline ticket fares only. ArsenalFan700 you sponsor him and this page will be deleted for sure !! Leave about that financial part, at least he is signed by some club to play for not like others who have joined Academy. I dont think this page need deletion at all as it have all kind of references that Wikipedia wants. Indianfootballlovers (talk)
Weird comment! We don't write articles in Wikipedia to find sponsors! --Tito Dutta (contact) 15:14, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
