Despite playing one minute or so of professional league football, doesn't seem to be notable per WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG. The former guideline asks for at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources, which we do not have here. We don't even have clear confirmation of his date of birth or position. The only source I can find in Arabic searches about a footballer called 'Fahad/Fahd Abdullah' is Kooora, which has very low standards for inclusion and does not confer notability. Oppose merge/redirect due to how common his name is in the Arabic-speaking world and due to lack of an obvious target. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 16:43, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. Fails WP:GNG and only source given (and also only sources that exist) is a database. Belichickoverbrady ( talk) 01:22, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
