While the article is somewhat comprehensive, unfortunately I am failing this article based on my concerns over sourcing. Other, evident points of concern:

References are messy: instead of posting Bare URLs, consider using the {{cite news}} or {{cite web}} templates, where appropriate.
There are three dead links, which are no use to readers
"doping allegations were aimed at Juventus (they were later found innocent)" needs a ref
"In 1993, he transferred to Juventus, and has been there ever since" it says he is a free agent in the lead, having left the club.
"grabbed a hat-trick against Parma" reads sports journalese
"he won the Serie A championship eight times (1995, 1997, 1998, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2012)", why is this in the first paragraph.
The paragraph which begins with "One of Del Piero's greatest strengths as a footballer is his versatility, which allows him to play in a variety of attacking positions." could be accomadated in a 'Style of play' section. I see no use of it in the Juventus section.
2009–10 requires an en dash
Several instances where words are overlinked (Coppa Italia, Roma)
"Most notably, Del Piero inspired the Bianconeri", who? I thought it was Juventus. Avoid nicknames unless you introduce it properly.
"Del Piero finished off a brilliant move by Juve" Juventus
"On 21 October, he scored a wonderful first-time strike from distance as Juve defeated Real Madrid in Turin.[36] On 21 October, he scored in Juve's Champions League match at home against the Spanish club. In the fifth minute, from open play," repetitive and you are making the same point twice.
Why is his farewall quote italicised?
"On TV, Del Piero is famous not just for his matches, but also for broadcasting and advertising skills." something not right here.

Considerable work is needed. I would suggest you take this to WP:PR before deciding to renominate. Del Piero is a great player but the article currently does disservice to his career as prose can lead to misconstrued information. – Lemonade51 (talk) 18:51, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Think I fixed all the problems that you mentioned, I should have read the article more carefully initially to see all the errors that had been made by previous editors. I really cleaned up the page and made new subsections and fixed all the references, I think. Rupert1904 (talk) 18:56, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
