The result was delete. (I know nothing about soccer stats, but it seems to me that the page cited by Alhosniomani20 indicates that this person did not appear in the game but was merely an unused substitute. Not that that affects the outcome of this AfD.) Deor (talk) 11:59, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - Fails WP:NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Fenix down (talk) 06:33, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Player plays for Dhofar S.C.S.C. in Oman Professional league in Oman which is in its second season now. The photo present in his article clearly proves that. There is a fully professional league in Oman and Oman gets one AFC Champions League play-off place. He was the substitute for Oman National Football Team match against Jordan on 15 October 2013 in AFC Asian Cup qualification which is the biggest football competition in Asia.[1] Isn't that enough?Alhosniomani20 (talk) 10:50, 2 August 2014 (MCT)
- Comment - unfortunately, the base level for notability required by WP:NFOOTY is that he has played in a fully professional league or played senior international football unless other achievements that have gained significant, reliable coverage in non-routine sources can establish GNG (i.e. not just match reports, transfer news, etc). Continental competition appearances can according to current consensus satisfy NFOOTY as long as they are in matches between two teams that play in FPLs. In this instance there is no consensus that the Omani is fully professional and this article indicates that at the start of last season, although steps were being taken to get to a fully professional level, it was not there yet, so players in the Omani League would not be inherently notable unless they have played senior international football or played in an FPL in another country.
