The result was delete. Consensus established that GNG is not met and it also seems that any claim to passing NFOOTY is also rebutted, whilst the player may have made preliminary squad, the is no evidence that they featured in a full international match.

Fails WP:NFOOTY as France doesn't have any women's professional leagues. The only article I can find on her is this, which is hidden behind a paywall. I don't think it's enough to pass WP:GNG. Nehme₁₄₉₉ 19:55, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails GNG and NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 22:15, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - agree player fails NFOOTBALL, but as an FYI there is a top flight women's league in France' Division 1 Féminine. --dashiellx (talk) 00:55, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Dashiellx: Top flight does not mean professional. Nehme₁₄₉₉ 01:02, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: have added the profile linked above, which looks substantial even outside the paywall. It is asserted that she plays in her national team. PamD 12:09, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@PamD: Where does it say that she played for her NT? Also, WP:GNG says that multiple sources are generally expected. Nehme₁₄₉₉ 12:51, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

According to Algeria women's national football team#Recent call-ups, she was called up to the national team on 6 October (though this isn't sourced). And Algeria haven't played a match since then, as their fixture against Sudan was postponed due to the October 2021 Sudanese coup d'état, [1]. Also, we don't seem to have squad lists for most Algeria women's national team fixtures (and even Soccerway lists scores but no lineups e.g. [2]). So it's entirely possible she has made a national team appearance, but the sources are completely unclear. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:20, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Joseph2302: She was called up to a preliminary squad in September; however, this doesn't indicate that she played a full senior international game. Nehme₁₄₉₉ 13:24, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming she hasn't played an international match, I think draftspace is fine. She seems close to meeting WP:NFOOTY (as she's been called up to international squads), seems reasonably likely she will debut soon. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:55, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Nehme1499: Where? In the article: AGF. PamD 15:09, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@PamD: WP:NOTSOURCE. Nehme₁₄₉₉ 15:11, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Nehme1499: I said "it is asserted". PamD 15:25, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@PamD: An assertion isn't enough to keep an article. Nehme₁₄₉₉ 15:28, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've asked the article creator on their user talkpage whether they have a source for actual appearance(s). Joseph2302 (talk) 15:31, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - due to the player's Algerian heritage, has anyone done a check for Arabic-language sources? Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 19:56, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Searching for ليا أبادو only yields one result about her: this blog that listed the aforementioned Algeria preliminary squad callups (the article seems to have been deleted, though. I could only see the Google preview showing her name). Nehme₁₄₉₉ 20:18, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - only one semi-decent source and WP:GNG expects multiple sources. Lack of coverage in Arabic as well as in French sources means that I would prefer deleting the article for now. No prejudice against creating this again should she become notable. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 20:21, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
