Completing nomination on behalf of
User:Flycatchr, who
indicated on the article's talk page that the subject's notability is unclear. For my part,
WP:NFOOTY would hinge on how notable the subject's team (
Dibba Al-Fujairah Club) is - if it's a top tier professional club, then it's a good bet that this player is notable. Otherwise,
WP:USUAL probably applies, and we'll have to wait for this player to play at a higher level or for a more notable organization before an article becomes appropriate.

Comment. OK, I looked up the football club and found that they are listed as a member of
UAE Arabian Gulf League. That league is listed as a fully professional league at
Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues. I also see that several of this player's previous teams are in the same league - which would indicate that he meets
WP:NFOOTY, as a fully professional player on a qualifying team. (He's also 30, not 20 - so USUAL is a stretch as well. That's what I get for checking
WP:BADAFD on mobile.)

Keep - meets
WP:NFOOTBALL. It's probably worth reminding the nominator about
WP:BEFORE. If he wishes to withdraw the nomination, we can close this without wasting any further time.

I tend to agree, generally. In this case, the redlinked nomination popped up on
WP:BADAFD and I completed the nom per AGF, then got to wondering and started digging around. Had I done that before, I would have discussed it with the nom first - but then again, if they had read
WP:AFDHOWTO and done it all on their own this would have been a bog standard AFD. Maybe a SNOW close, but standard nonetheless.

I've leave a note for the original nominator regarding withdrawal. For my part, I have no objection to a SNOW close.
