The result was delete. Neither of the keep votes present even a single source to suggest even passing coverage that could be considered to be substantial enough to suggest GNG. The first keep vote rests solely on the premise that paying in the Egyptian Premier League is sufficient for notability when no league carries that presumption. The second keep vote makes no sense as an argument at all. I presume it is trying to accuse the nominator of not carrying out a decent search for sources prior to nomination but presents nothing to suggest there are sources. AfD is not a vote and with not a single source is presented to suggest GNG, the consensus is to delete Fenix down (talk) 22:22, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Subject fails WP:SPORTCRIT due to lack of significant coverage. A search per WP:BEFORE did not turn up any significant coverage. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 08:57, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Bad nomination. The article was last updated in 2016 when the guy had already played 30 matches for a club in the Egyptian Premier League. With that many first-class matches (and counting), it is obvious that the player is notable and that the article is in need of update and expansion. It already carries a refimprove tag but the priority is update. If the nominator has done a complete BEFORE and there really isn't anything out there in Egyptian sources, then there is nothing to stop the nominator from complying with WP:PRESERVE and doing a redirect to a suitable list of Egyptian footballers.

I trust the closer will ignore this non-argument. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 11:11, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For the benefit of the closer and other editors, please explain in detail how the above is a "non-argument". And, for the record, accusing another editor of deliberately presenting a non-argument is a breach of WP:AGF and very close to a breach of WP:NPA. Do NOT write anything like that again about me or anyone else. If the closer is a sysop, they may wish to give due consideration to the breach of AGF.

Delete Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. I don't see anything wrong with the nomination itself, there is no inherent notability from playing in Egypt and no indication that the nominator did not perform a WP:BEFORE. I did a search, both in English in Egyptian sources and while there are several routine transfer articles on him, didn't find anything that I found substantial enough for him to pass GNG. If anybody has better luck in finding sources, I'm more than happy to change my !vote. Alvaldi (talk) 13:34, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
