The result was delete. Some claim to coverage existing but consensus is to delete with sources presented being rejected by other editors as being brief at best. Not a single source has been presented to show significant coverage let al9ne the multiple sources required by gng.

Delete - no evidence of notability. If players no longer get 'automatic' notability, referees certainly shouldn't.

What sources could be used to improve the article? We require sources showing significant coverage to have an article.

Delete - there was
this notability guideline proposal for referees, which was strongly opposed, therefore there is no presumption of notability for football referees regardless of how many games or what games they officiated. They are required to pass
WP:GNG. Also
WP:NOTINHERITED applies.
2020 Arab Club Champions Cup Final is a notable football match but that does not mean that the referee of that match automatically qualifies for a stand-alone article. El Banna needs to be notable on his own merits to qualify for an article and I can't find any evidence of that. If someone does find significant coverage in any language, please let me know.

I don't think these are significant coverage. Using Google Translate, both appear to be basic news piece which include a brief bio, that's it.
