Contested Prod on the following grounds: "I'm nervous about deleting 5-year old article about player in a top team of Togo's highest league, without much more thought." Player has not played in a fully professional league nor played senior international football and so fails WP:NFOOTY. No indication of any other achievements garnering sufficient non-routine coverage to achieve a GNG pass either. Fenix down (talk) 14:40, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - appears to fail both WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 14:49, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - appears to be an international player. Article requires improving. Giant Snowman 12:54, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom. He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:04, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: He is a full-time international player per national-football teams. However, this cap came as a sub in 2011 so you may want to make WP:GNG the ultimate decider here. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 19:56, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Hmmm... I'm not so sure. I can't see anything on fifa website to support this nor find any info on what match this might have been. Happy to be proven wrong though if someone can dig out a match report. Fenix down (talk) 23:16, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if someone has the time to go through the seven matches Togo played in 2011 then that would be great. Unfortunetly I have some other things to catch up on so if it is not done then I will do it later. Cheers. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 23:51, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Senior international for Togo, as suggested above. Came on in match against Niger in Niamey in August 2011, per togoactu.com and many other news sites, and was in the squad for their CAN2012 qualifier against Botswana in September, per Togo Football Federation. Note that a player's FIFA Tournament Statistics are just that: their stats in FIFA tournaments, i.e. World Cup (senior, under-20 and under-17), Confederations Cup and Olympics, not friendlies or competitions organised by one of the continental confederations. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 17:46, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Passes WP:NFOOTY as he's made a international appearance for Togo. JMHamo (talk) 23:11, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per Struway2 Nfitz (talk) 01:18, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per Struway2, I withdraw my nomination. Fenix down (talk) 11:54, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
