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.

Keep - appears to be an international player. Article requires improving.

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.

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. --

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.

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. --

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,
