Delete - no evidence he has played in a fully-pro league, so fails WP:ATHLETE. Also fails WP:GNG. GiantSnowman 16:20, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Hussein Karim is playing with Arbil in the 2009 AFC Cup. he was Najaf FC main Striker until Arbil bought him because he is one of the best Strikers in the current time. Mussav (talk) 17:50, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have a source that he has played a competitive game in the AFC Cup in 2009? GiantSnowman 17:55, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
he did not play yet because he moved for Arbil this month and he will play for Arbil this month in the 2009 AFC Cup against a Kuwait Club. So why deleting it then recreating it again? Mussav (talk) 18:04, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Saying he will play in the future is a violation of WP:CRYSTALBALL; what if he is injured and is unable to play? GiantSnowman 18:06, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Then all you have to do is to delete this article and then I will recreate it as soon as he plays?... or how about delaying this issue until this month pass so we can make sure if he will play or not. Mussav (talk) 18:20, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I brought a source for Hussein Karim being played in an official Tournamnet, he played for Najaf in the Arab Champions League in 2007 and scored 2 goals [1]. Mussav (talk) 18:23, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - meets WP:ATHLETE as he has played in a top-level, continent-wide tournament. GiantSnowman 18:31, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
