Looks like he fails WP:NFOOTBALL; I can't find him anywhere other than the unreliable Transfermarkt, which has no appearances in a league listed at WP:FPL and no manager roles at any appropriate clubs; managing an academy or youth team does not confer notability.

A search of Austrian sources only comes back with one Q&A, which is far from enough to satisfy WP:GNG. I can't see any real English media coverage either outside of self-published and social media stuff. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:00, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep while he doesn't even come close to passing NFOOTY, I think these three articles ([1], [2], [3]) are enough to confer him notability. The page obviously needs to be cleaned up, though. Nehme₁₄₉₉ 18:59, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just so you are aware, the first two sources that you mention are the same, and also the same as the one identified in my nom. The Tunisian Youth article is a word-for-word English translation of the Laola1 source so, in my view, should not be treated as two separate references. So we have the Q&A and the Espace Manager source thus far. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 19:07, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yeah, didn't notice that one was the translation of the other. Still, two non-trivial sources are (barely) enough imo. Nehme₁₄₉₉ 19:30, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adding a few more sources: [4], [5] Nehme₁₄₉₉ 21:39, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It might just be the way that Google translates things but those both come across very, very promotional in terms of the language used. Newspresse reads like a CV. The other article has a lot of puffery like Indeed, I seek from our conversation with Salman, an ambitious young man of thirty-one years, a figure who deserves all respect and encouragement. and All this diligence and perseverance, of course, made him the focus of much attention and expanded the range of his personal and professional relations that testified to him with competence, Not sure if it sounds this way in Arabic?

Delete Per nom, I don't see this player on any other system other than a few unreliable sources. Govvy (talk) 21:19, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - not enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG, and doesn't pass WP:NFOOTY. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 23:46, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
