Keep. FK Baku is a professional team, and its players are therefore notable. This may be the same person as Yasar Abuzarov or Yaşar Abuzarov, mentioned in the FK Baku as among the 10 top scorers, and who was with the team during the period 2003–2005. Can someone verify the spelling? - Eastmain (talk) 01:25, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is no mention of the Azerbaijani Premier League on the list of fully-pro leagues. Even if it is, there are currently no sources which indicate this person meets WP:ATHLETE; if you find one, I am more than happy to withdraw the AfD. Giant Snowman 01:30, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, a Google search of the alternative spelling Eastmain suggested brings up RSSSF, which says he scored in the league...however, there is no source that shows it is a fully-pro league, as specified by WP:ATHLETE. Giant Snowman 01:38, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The Fifa.com page for Azerbaijan at http://www.fifa.com/associations/association=aze/nationalleague/standings.html lists the top team as "UEFA Champions League Qualifiers" and two others as "UEFA Europa League". A search for Azerbaijan at Fifa.com http://www.fifa.com/search/index.htmx?q=azerbaijan doesn't do much to answer the question either. -- Eastmain (talk) 01:47, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:BIO and WP:N. Could it also be a possible hoax? A Google search brings very little up. Mattythewhite (talk) 20:05, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:GNG due to a lack of significant media coverage. Also fails notability for sportspeople at WP:ATH as he has not competed at a fully-pro level of football. --Jimbo^[online] 13:26, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and Jimbo. ArcAngel (talk) 07:27, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
