Dear editors, I object to your objection that Zabih Etemadi has not received significant coverage by reliable sources. I have included numerous citations referring to Dutch media, where Etemadi is mentioned, either as a former professional soccer player, a sports agent or an expert on Iranian football. The sources are in Dutch, but language cannot be a reason to object to notability. I also object to your second objection that Etemadi is not a professional football player. Etemadi has played for three different professional football clubs in The Netherlands: SC Heerenveen, SC Cambuur and FC Groningen. I have included a link to a well-known soccer website where Etemadi's profile can be seen. I hope this will convince you to leave this lemma active on Wikipedia. Sincerely, Abhinabha Abhinabha (talk) 15:20, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
