No indication this individual meets notability guidelines, no evidence of playing in a FPL or meeting WP:GNG. PROD challenged with rationale "he plays pro football in Algeria" but no evidence that he has played for his team (which is by the way in Ghana and not Algeria). C 679 20:23, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I'd guess the creator's mention of "Algeria" in their edit summary was just a brainslip, as the article states that the subject plays in the fully-pro Ghana Premier League. Since the nomination, an editor has added a reference to a match report mentioning subject's defensive error in a GPL fixture; might not be a very favourable mention, but it does prove he was playing and therefore passes WP:NFOOTY criterion 2. The standard Europe-based stats sites don't cover the Ghana PL, but both Transfermarkt and Soccerway show several appearances for his club in the 2012 CAF Champions League group stage. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:35, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - meets WP:NFOOTBALL, needs bringing up to meet WP:GNG as well. Giant Snowman 17:38, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Passes WP:NFOOTY, though I note this was not demonstrated at the time of nomination. --BDD (talk) 22:20, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
