Delete. Non-playing members of a team are not notable unless they have established notability in another capacity, which does not appear the case here. --Ifnord (talk) 17:51, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ - until he plays a match, he fails WP:NSPORT, and there is insufficient coverage to pass WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:19, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Given the research provided bellow, I'm changing my !vote to Keep as it has been shown that he passes WP:NSPORT. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:27, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Have expanded the article using Soccerway as a source to show that he has made 26 appearances in the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1, which, according to WP:FPL, is a fully professional league. Mattythewhite (talk) 11:39, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Player has numerous appearances in the Algerian top flight, including playing in that league since it became fully professional. Perhaps the nominator failed to notice that when removing the prod, the article's creator also replaced the inadequate source with one that confirmed his Ligue 1 appearances. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:33, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Has played at a notable level. Argyle 4 Life^talk 16:31, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1 is known as a professional league, thus the player passes WP:NFOOTBALL. --Reckless182 (talk) 12:32, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Played at a professional level. TonyStarks (talk) 04:38, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
