Wathik Naji[edit]

*Delete - This person appears to be not notable based on a simple Google search. The references are insufficient and it is not proper to use Wikipedia itself as a reference. In addition, the article is written like a resume and may be unencyclopedic. — Yavoh 19:20, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup, move to Wathiq Naji and then Keep. Julius Sahara (talk) 20:52, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with the latter keep. It must be understood that out of English-speaking countries and out of the West google is of no help in indicating the notability of an individual, due to the force of systemic bias. Also, his career appears certainly notable; what must be searched now are reliable sources to confirm it.--Aldux (talk) 21:19, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep per Julius and Aldux. Yavoh, you should consider reading Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thomas.macmillan (talk • contribs) 05:07, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

keep. International player and coach of a World Cup qualifying team. What more could you want for sporting notability? --Paularblaster (talk) 02:44, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - After doing more thorough research and being barraged with evidence, I have to change my stance to keep. Next time I'll do more thorough research before prodding an article. Thanks for the information, everyone. — Yavoh 21:26, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
