Delete per nom; non-notable footballer who fails WP:ATHLETE. Giant Snowman 10:57, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - he's played in the Morocco top flight. Do you know that its only semi-pro? Jogurney (talk) 13:26, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Kabli has played several years in the Moroccan top flight and has significant accomplishments such as winning the 2008 Moroccan Cup. Article needs more work, but is close to passing general guideline, and I suspect it passess WP:ATHLETE as well (I have no reason to believe the Moroccan top flight is semi-pro).

- Comment - The list of fully professional leagues doesn't include the Moroccan league so we can't assume it's professional either. I don't think being called up and not playing makes someone notable either. Spiderone (talk) 15:10, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - While I agree that a national team call-up does not provide much notability, this guy has played eight seasons in the Moroccan Botola and was part of the 2008 Cup-winning side. I'd say that's notable for a nation like Morocco with a strong footballing tradition. I suspect the Botola is fully-pro, but don't have the sources to show it (since my French is extremely limited and I don't read any Arabic). Jogurney (talk) 20:10, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Nomination is incorrect, the league is professional - at least according to List of professional sports leagues#Football: Association Football. Nfitz (talk) 01:50, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment This "list" also features the Bangladeshi league, the Azerbaijani league, the Icelandic league etc. too. It is also unsourced and therefore unreliable. Spiderone (talk) 08:33, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
