Since WP:NFOOTY is no longer a valid SNG, GNG must be met. This doesn't come close. Was draftified for improvement, but returned without any improvement. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:00, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. Alvaldi (talk) 17:56, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I found [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], and [8], among many many more Swedish and Arabic sources. Young player with ongoing career who is already youth international. Article needs improvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 20:46, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The first source listed is an interview with some independent commentary, the fourth is obviously non-independent club promo, the fifth source is pure Q&A interview/routine transaction coverage, and every other source is paywalled. Even if the first source was considered SIGCOV (I do not think it is), unless editors have access to the paywalled Swedish newspapers I do not see how anyone can claim GNG is met. If we don't know what's in those sources we can't evaluate how significant they are. JoelleJay (talk) 19:38, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: BLP Fails GNG and BIO. Sources in the article do not show N. BEFORE didn't show anything that is IS RS with SIGCOV showing N, database, primary, promo, stats, etc. Source evail:

WP:BLP states "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources"'; BLPs need IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability to avoid abuse per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV). // Timothy :: talk 01:04, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The sources go into his background quite a bit, and the coverage is not routine. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 08:42, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, now that it's apparent the paywalled sources are routine. JoelleJay (talk) 04:00, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I heavily doubt the user above actually had access to the paywalled sources... Even if he did, the second source is definitely not routine and the first source definitely is reliable and those are just the first two sources... Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 13:54, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have access to the paywalled sources? JoelleJay (talk) 01:11, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A user tossing around the word "routine" without any explanation as to why isn't really proof of that. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:06, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I don't see a consensus (and had closed it as such), but a valid question was raised about something I missed so relisting to get it back on the logs. It doesn't necessarily need to run another seven days.

Delete - Article about footballer who has never played at a level higher than the Swedish third division, and which appears to fail WP:GNG. I could not locate any significant coverage online other than what is linked above. The links above that I can access are routine/trivial, and the Hallands Nyheter/Hallandsposten newspaper articles that are paywalled may or may not be. The headlines don't suggest that they are in-depth, as they look like a club signing announcement and a note about another player's injury that leads to Omar's promotion to the club's first team. This is nowhere near what is required to meet the GNG. Jogurney (talk) 12:42, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
