This person is NOT notable. There are no sources and no news regarding this person. Notability is not inherited. The team/league MAY be notable, but Hicham Aâboubou is not. I repeat notability is NOT inherited. Just because someone plays in a notable league does not make them notable. HThe team he plays for listing a bio of him on their website does not qualify as a source. Nicweber (talk) 07:48, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

- Delete Please show how he passes Wikipedia:Notability (sports). I see that he has only played for a few Canadian based teams. Including the now defunct Laval team. I don't see how he is notable. Wikipedia is not a replacement for facebook. Nicweber (talk) 07:54, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
- Per WP:NFOOTY "Players who have appeared, and managers who have managed, in a fully-professional league (as detailed here), will generally be regarded as notable." He is playing for Montreal Impact and that team is at North American Soccer League which, according to NFOOTY, is enough notability. Tbhotch* ۩ ۞ 08:00, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
- Per WP:NFOOTY "Players who have appeared, and managers who have managed, in a fully-professional league (as detailed here), will generally be regarded as notable." The keyword here is "generally". He is not notable as there is no news coverage or sources beyond the team's website itself and a university webpage. There is ZERO sources in google news. The team MAY be notable, he is not notable.

- OE, show me a news source that is not a university webpage or the team's own website. Hicham does not meet the notability requirements.Nicweber (talk) 08:10, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
