Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested on the grounds that he is signed to a Ghanaian Premier League club. However, since he is yet to actually play for them, this does not confer notability.

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 21:22, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - more sources have now been found showing he meets NFOOTBALL. Article needs improving. Giant Snowman 14:50, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per above, a case of WP:TOOSOON by the looks of things as has not played in fully professional league or senior international team. Fenix down (talk) 12:53, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Work below by Nfitz indicates he has made appearances in a fully professional league. Article now needs improvement to bring it up to GNG standards. Fenix down (talk) 13:36, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete the player is relatively young, still doesn't play in a fully professional league, per WP:TOOSOON, and WP:NFOOTBALL. Alex^{discussion ★} 09:18, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep sources have now been provided; now meets the criteria. Alex^{discussion ★} 17:16, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - the issue as far as I understand it is that he hasn't played for Amidaus Professionals which do play in a fully professional league. However his wiki page does claim he has one appearance. Other sources such as [1] show more appearances. So he does meet WP:FOOTYN after all. Nfitz (talk) 03:51, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This argument would be valid if supported by a reliable source. Transfermarkt is user edited, making it no more reliable than Wikipedia itself, and has been used on several occasions to add false information to Wikipedia. Sir Sputnik (talk) 05:15, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

He seems to be real. A local radio station recently noted that his play in the league has attracted interest from other teams [2]. He's mentioned in various match reports [3] [4]. There's a report about a Premier League game being stopped so he could urinate - [5]. There's a match report from goal.com [6] There's another local site with a match report - [7]. They seem to match information at Transfermarkt. Nfitz (talk) 06:51, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
