Deprodded. Subject fails WP:GNG. Only news coverage is short, routine blurbs, which is unsurprising for a player with only a handful of professional appearances. agtx 14:41, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I believe the current sourcing on page is enough to meet GNG, and he's already had more than a handful professional appearances.--Ortizesp (talk) 19:33, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Which source, specifically, convinces you of this? agtx 04:55, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. The "current sourcing on the page" amounts to a stats-type site with a news link pointing to a single article mentioning him ("Al-Taawon player, Abdul Malik Al-Ayiri, suffered a knee injury while participating with the Saudi youth team. Al-Ayyari will undergo medical examinations to diagnose the infection and determine the duration of treatment."); his (inaccessible) profile on Saudileague.com; a soccerway stats page; and a trivial mention in another article ("...but Al-Taawoun returned to progress and settled the result in the second half, despite the shortage, by scoring two goals through Abdul-Malik Al-Ayiri in the 66th minute and Towamba in the 93rd minute."). These three combined sentences of routine coverage obviously don't amount to GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 00:23, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - the couple of sentences about his injury are far from enough to justify an article. I can't find any other claim to notability. I could find a few short transfer announcements but these are routine coverage only. Examples include Akhbaar and Al Riyadh. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 05:54, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
