Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested on the grounds that he is signed to Akwa United. However, since there are no sources to confirm that he has actually played for them, this does not confer notability. Sir Sputnik ( talk) 15:05, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Keep - there is a source on the page saying he plays for Akwa United. Article needs some work but I don't think it needs to be deleted. MereTechnicality ⚙ 15:18, 15 February 2017 (UTC)- Changed !vote to Userify - per comments below. I will say that I haven't read WP:NFOOTBALL. Article should be userfied until he's played or otherwise meets the threshold for mainspace. MereTechnicality ⚙ 18:38, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
- Userfy - There doesn't seem to be a source saying he has played, only that he is signed by Akwa United. This [1] source says "We hope to start fielding them in our next game after their paperwork wasn't complete on time for them to feature in the match with Bayelsa United,". Suggest a move to user space until a source is found confirming he's played. Gab4gab ( talk) 16:22, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete - no evidence he has actually played in a fully-professional league (note @ MereTechnicality:, being on the roster to a club is not enough, you need an actual appearance) so fails WP:NFOOTBALL, and of course also fails WP:GNG. Giant Snowman 16:59, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
