This link [1] shows that he hasn't made an appearance in a league that isn't pro. He also has limited independent news coverage. Spiderone 12:57, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG. Giant Snowman 10:54, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - on second thoughts, since Struway improved the article drastically, I think it's now worth keeping - a number of sources plus a big money transfer means this guy is porbably notable. Giant Snowman 11:04, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The article and the link quoted above were a bit out of date. This shows he is now playing regularly for his new club in the Algerian top division, which is not proven to be fully professional (the division, not the club). And one or two references have been added to the article, one of which focuses on the role played by the player for his previous club and one contains a short interview regarding his transfer. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:27, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nice to see. I'll have to try and get more people in here to see if this is enough to pass WP:GNG. Spiderone 15:52, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the article looks much better now, well done. I'm still unsure if he passes WP:GNG though...Giant Snowman 16:29, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep now. Article contains several sources from various Algerian publications, including verification of his transfer fee of £6million-plus; even if the Algerian league isn't proven to be fully-pro it's pretty serious money-wise at the top end... I'd say news coverage is now sufficient to pass WP:GNG. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 10:19, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep plays in a notable league and article is well-referenced Eldumpo (talk) 17:47, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
