The result was delete. NFOOTY is defunct; GNG is the standard. Based on the rebuttals to the sources presented, I do not believe there is consensus that GNG is met. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 20:42, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Subject fails WP:SPORTCRIT due to lack of significant coverage. A search per WP:BEFORE did not turn up any significant coverage. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 17:47, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: pass NFooty: there's a coverage about the player, he played in a professional league. https://www.eurosport.com/football/mustafa-mohammad-abdul-hafeth_prs413019/person.shtml https://www.soccer24.com/player/hafeth-mustafa/6Vu24oFb Oloriebi 10:32, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability. Please note that NFOOTBALL no longer exists. Giant Snowman 18:21, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - nominator appears to be correct. Best source that I can find is Al Arab, which is a long quote from him but contains no content about him, therefore, this is not significant coverage of him. The sources provided above are stats database profile pages and don't confer notability. WP:NFOOTY has been deprecated so the closer should give !votes based purely on that less weight than those based on GNG. As my searching skills in Arabic are not amazing, please ping me if someone finds substantial coverage. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 20:17, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I'm seeing GNG coverage with one, two, three. Nfitz (talk) 07:32, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The first source is trivial. I can't comment on the other two, as Google Translate doesn't want to work on them. Can you explain how they constitute significant coverage? 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 07:41, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how the first is trivial. In addition he's the one that the media turn to frequently; these articles are examples of that. Right-click translate works fine in Google Chrome for me. Nfitz (talk) 16:46, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Clearly some coverage, but let's be grownups, if someone asks you to explain why you are putting forward a source as helping meet GNG, its useful to provide that information, especially when they are not in English / roman alphabet, rather than just pointing to Google translate, it can only help bolster arguments. Likewise the opposite applies when dismissing sources.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Fenix down (talk) 22:00, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can tell, the sources provided by Nfitz are just briefly quoting the subject about upcoming matches. He has the usual generic statements about "facing strong opposition". There's no actual secondary coverage of the subject. In the third article, he's mentioned once and his opinions on an upcoming game are paraphrased in 1 sentence. I don't think this is significant coverage. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 22:15, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this. 1 and 2 are long quotes from the player but nothing about him. 3 seems to paraphrase some comments made in an interview, presuming the Google Translate is accurate. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 19:12, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
