The player may exist, but no source to support it. Match Report of AFC Cup 2007 & 08 can't find him. Matthew_hk t c 04:00, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Try alternative spellings of his name. Zohier Mrad is listed in the current squad of Racing Beirut, this link mentions his transfer in 2008. --Vejvančický (talk) 07:27, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The case may hold on and focused on whatever the league is fully-pro and/or he may/may not passed the GNG. If he played at AFC Cup, for sure he is notable. Matthew_hk t c 20:58, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete notability is determined by significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources, not claims of what league he plays in; per WP:BLP and WP:N - no coverage, not notable and should be deleted -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 06:06, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: No evidence to suggest that the player passes either ATHLETE or more importantly the general notability guidelines. -- Big Dom 08:18, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I don't think it matters whether he played in the AFC Cup or AFC Champions League. The AFC Cup is not a fully-professional competition. At present, the entrants are generally from countries whose leagues don't meet the eligibility criteria for the AFC Champions League - one of these criteria is that the top-flight league is fully professional. As there aren't any Lebanese teams in this competition, we can assume the league is not fully-pro. What's more, the AFC Champions League has only been applying these criteria since 2009 (I think) so we can't count it as a fully professional competition until after then. Bottom line is, for me he fails WP:ATHLETE. Bettia (talk) 12:31, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
