Footballer who fails GNG and NFOOTY. Ne senior appearances beyond Iraqi league, which isn't fully pro. No detailed coverage, all provided references amount to trivial mentions and transfer updates. BlameRuiner (talk) 21:35, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A well developed article for a player in a major league which fails our NFOOTY standards, I can't comment on GNG due to a language barrier but the article is well developed with a number of references, not all of which pass GNG (Facebook etc.) Would like to see more analysis on why all the sources fail GNG.

@SportingFlyer: - I took a random sample of sources, numbers 1, 5, 10 and 15 and tried to decipher them through Google Translate:

1 is a brief news article about transfer from Erbil to El-Mina, in my view this is WP:ROUTINE;

5 is an article about a club suffering financial difficulties, he does not appear to be mentioned;

10 is a brief match report which mentions he scored a goal;

15 is a profile of all players on the team, including the following about this player: "Ahmed Khaled: The heart of the Mina defense team played a big role and carried a heavy burden in front of Naft Al Wasat attack and defended fiercely for its goal to contribute to securing the victory."

Based on my above sample summary, I cannot see any significant coverage of this player. Giant Snowman 11:42, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails NFOOTBALL and also appears to fail GNG based on my sample survey of sources above. If anybody finds anything which is significant then please ping me so I can re-consider. Lots of little coverage in local media does not confer notability. Giant Snowman 11:44, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete does not meet our ludicously low inclusion standards for footballers.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:28, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the coverage is entirely routine; in most references, Ahmed Khaled is barely even mentioned and those that do focus on him are just because he has signed for a new club or signed a new contract. Spiderone 10:27, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
