~~Keep~~ he's an international footballer, and so passes WP:NFOOTY (and likely WP:GNG if a search is done). Joseph2302 (talk) 09:19, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

He isn't. His alleged senior NT caps are unsourced. NFT has nothing on him. Per Soccerway and GlobalSportsArchive, he only had 1 bench appearance. --BlameRuiner (talk) 10:06, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I also question the legitimacy of the caps. See NFT as BlameRuiner says above. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 10:07, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If the caps can't be verified, then I would support Move to draftspace, as he's playing in an FPL, so could become notable in the near future. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:10, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that draft space would be the best place. Hopefully the creator won't move the article back prematurely for a second time. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 12:19, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as he fails NFOOTY and GNG. I also have my own draft since August. Nehme₁₄₉₉ 15:28, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like this article is an unattributed copy of that userspace draft, so delete (and keep that draft) is probably better for attribution reasons (and because the current draft doesn't have the unsourced claim of senior caps). Joseph2302 (talk) 15:46, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
