The result was speedy keep. Subject has played in at least one fully professional league and so clearly meets the subject-specific guideline. Closing as there is no reasonable chance of suitable delete arguments being presented, I think there has been a bit of a misunderstanding of NFOOTY here and there is no need to keep all these AfDs open for purely bureaucratic reasons.

Akbaba plays in the Turkish 3rd league, which according to our article on it is actually the 4th level pro league in Turkey. Only those who play for top level, fully pro leagues in a country are default notable. He falls way below this standard. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 22:10, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

- I just wanted to add, as the one responsible for creating the page - I created the page back when he was playing for a top tier team in Turkey, Gençlerbirliği. It seems since then his career status has taken a downturn. It seems he's now playing with an Amateur level team (5th tier), Edirnespor. If the rules are the page stays due to prior high level exposure, all good, but I understand people questioning the status. I'll seek to update the page with the info I have: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kemal-akbaba/profil/spieler/51592 Xfiles82 ( talk) 16:10, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
