Delete The most concern is notability. He is a GK and above all he is playing in the third class football league in his country. — Free E. (talk) 14:33, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Actually, he doesn't fail WP:NFOOTBALL. As the Arabic-language statistical reference in the article states, and Soccerway confirms, he played 8 matches for Hajer Club in the Saudi Professional League. The Saudi Pro League is listed, albeit under the name of Saudi Premier League, as fully professional at WP:FPL. What the Soccerway link also confirms is that he played six times for Al-Fateh SC. Fourteen appearances for two different teams in a fully professional league is plenty enough to pass NFOOTBALL. Needs improving, not deleting: too many articles about notable subjects get deleted because there are too few speakers/readers of their language on the English Wikipedia to cope with the workload. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:38, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
