The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. No evidence provided that the BPL is fully-professional, hence I find the 'delete' arguments more persuasive. Daniel (talk) 03:42, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any evidence to suggest that he meets our notability criteria. He has never played in a league listed at WP:FPL so does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL; he also has not played in an international fixture (being called up is not sufficient on its own). National Football Teams does not list him at all.

Searching his name "মোহাম্মদ শেখ বাবলু" only seems to bring up one source, which is just a routine announcement anyway. No evidence that WP:GNG is met. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:39, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak remove Bangladesh Premier League doesn't meet WP:NOTFPL and seems it fails also WP:GNG, although Bengali wiki says he is a top player. Sincerely, Գարիկ Ավագյան (talk) 18:52, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails GNG and NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 21:43, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Bangladesh Premier League is the top-tier professional football league of Bangladesh. It is run by the Professional Football League Committee of Bangladesh Football Federation. As Mohamed Sheikh Bablu is a professional footballer, played for Bangladesh Police FC in Bangladesh Premier League, so I think it satisfies the second point of WP:NFOOTBALL. That's why I will suggest you guys to keep this article. Still, if you guys think it fails in WP:NFOOTBALL, then you guys can delete this. Thanks. – Waraka Saki (talk) 10:27, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any sources to show that the league is fully professional? It has been raised before at WT:FPL but no sources have ever been presented to show this and there has never been consensus in favour of adding it. The last discussion was a while ago, though, so if you do have sources, please start a new discussion at WT:FPL. Thanks. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 13:59, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails our already ludicrously broad inclusion criteria for footballers. We are close enough to being footballpedia just with those guidelines, we do not need to head closer to being it.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:52, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- He played in the Bangladeshi top tier league which is a professional football league. For me, it passes NFOOTBALL. Diptadg17 (talk) 10:44, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please can you provide sources for this? Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 16:09, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
