Article has been deleted once for an expired PROD, concern was: Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league Morning Sunshine (talk) 08:15, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not knowledgeable on Iraqi football; how is the league he plays for "not fully professional"? Because our article indicates that it is the parallel to the major leagues in American baseball; the highest in the pecking order of the pro leagues. If that is the case, then clear keep and a reminder that we're trying hard here to be less Western-centric in our focus. Killer Chihuahua 10:38, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You clearly didn't look up the guidelines - the Iraqi league is NOT fully professional: being a top-level league in a country doesn't make it professional. Lukeno94 (talk) 17:49, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - most importantly, this player clearly fails WP:GNG, which outweights WP:NFOOTBALL. However, this player also fails NFOOTBALL as he has not played in a fully-professional league - KillerChihuahua, did you even bother checking our notability guidelines and verifying the claims before !voting?

Delete - article is about a footballer who hasn't played in a fully pro league or represented his country at senior level, which means that the subject fails WP:NFOOTBALL. Also fails WP:GNG, as he hasn't received significant coverage in reliable sources. Mentoz86 (talk) 16:52, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NSPORT. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:00, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:GNG, WP:NFOOTBALL, and is poorly written to boot. Lukeno94 (talk) 17:49, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per all above.--Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 01:28, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
