Completing nomination on behalf of User:Flycatchr, who indicated on the article's talk page that the subject's notability is unclear. For my part, WP:NFOOTY would hinge on how notable the subject's team (Dibba Al-Fujairah Club) is - if it's a top tier professional club, then it's a good bet that this player is notable. Otherwise, WP:USUAL probably applies, and we'll have to wait for this player to play at a higher level or for a more notable organization before an article becomes appropriate.

Comment. OK, I looked up the football club and found that they are listed as a member of UAE Arabian Gulf League. That league is listed as a fully professional league at Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues. I also see that several of this player's previous teams are in the same league - which would indicate that he meets WP:NFOOTY, as a fully professional player on a qualifying team. (He's also 30, not 20 - so USUAL is a stretch as well. That's what I get for checking WP:BADAFD on mobile.) UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 17:44, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Subject does indeed pass WP:NFOOTY by having played for several teams in the fully professional UAE Arabian Gulf League, as confirmed by the Soccerway external link already present in the article. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:10, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - meets WP:NFOOTBALL. It's probably worth reminding the nominator about WP:BEFORE. If he wishes to withdraw the nomination, we can close this without wasting any further time. Giant Snowman 14:00, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to agree, generally. In this case, the redlinked nomination popped up on WP:BADAFD and I completed the nom per AGF, then got to wondering and started digging around. Had I done that before, I would have discussed it with the nom first - but then again, if they had read WP:AFDHOWTO and done it all on their own this would have been a bog standard AFD. Maybe a SNOW close, but standard nonetheless. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 19:09, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I've leave a note for the original nominator regarding withdrawal. For my part, I have no objection to a SNOW close. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 19:13, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Passes NFOOTY, has played in a fully professional league or in a match in the competition proper (i.e. not qualifying rounds) of a cup competition which involved two teams both from FPLs. Fenix down (talk) 08:28, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
