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 has four caps for the Omani national team. This is factually incorrect. While he has been called up to the national team, and named to the substitutes bench four times, he has never been capped, which is what is required to meet WP:NSPORT.

Delete - fails WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG as has not played in a fully professional league nor played senior intenrational football, nor appeared to have garnered significant, reliable coverage for any other achievements. Fenix down (talk) 10:03, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - in 2013, the Omani League was transformed into the Omani Professional Leage and is now fully professional. [1]. Player meets WP:NFOOTBALL. Nfitz (talk) 02:10, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - @Nfitz:, can you find a source that indicates he has played. Article indicate he almost certainly has but currently Soccerway has no details for him playing matches and that is the only reference. Would be happy to change my vote if you can. Also would be worth starting a thread on the Footy talk page to get this added to the FPL list. Fenix down (talk) 08:30, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - @Fenix down: Here's a game summary for an AFC Cup game in Jordan ... which may not count, but does note that not only did he play, he was the captain. [2]; here is another [3]. Presumably if he was captaining ACF Cup games, he'd appear in regular season games ... though Omani League match summaries are hard to come by ... but I can search more later.

Delete - the subject fails both the general notabilty guideline and the subject-specific notability guideline, as the footballer hasn't received significant coverage or played in a fully pro league. Mentoz (talk) 21:19, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
