PROD was rejected. Reason for PROD was that the player fails WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG. That reason still stands. The games he has played were with current fully-pro teams but they were before the I-League began in 2007. ArsenalFan700 (talk) 18:12, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Keep. Not only is the nominator mistaken in their claim that Mr Bose never played in the fully professional I-League, see e.g. [http://sports.ndtv.com/football/news/item/40317-east-bengal-stun-mahindra-with-1-0-win February 2008], [http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-05-27/top-stories/28310623_1_mahindra-coach-jct-steven-dias May 2010], [http://news.webindia123.com/news/articles/India/20110213/1688297.html February 2011], he is in fact a full senior international for India, having played twice against Pakistan in 2005 while he was still a Tollygunge player, see e.g. [http://www.indianfootball.de/specials/india/indianteam/2005pakistan.html indianfootball.com], and also against Fiji in the same year. He thus passes both criteria of the football-specific notability guideline. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:44, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

::Hm... your right. The international part was striking to me as I thought most of the squad from 05 were created but the source checks-out. Okay I will withdraw the nomination. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 16:47, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Keep: per WP:NFOOTY, I-League is a recognised league where Bose played multiple years and was also played international matches for India. Amartyabag ^TALK2ME 13:41, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
Keep: Per Struway2 and ArsenalFan700's reply! --Tito Dutta (contact) 05:54, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
