Recreation of an article previously deleted by PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. This remains valid. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:56, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 20:36, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - at least two of the references in the Swedish version of the article meet WP:GNG. These are here (which is more than just a contract renewal notice) and here. Interestingly the one comments about "now that he is nationally famous". Not sure what that's about. Looking in Google News - this is quite substantial here. This here isn't, but might hint at why he's "famous" - looks like he was in Kurdistan during a terror attack. This looks as though it meets GNG here. Oh, this one is very strong here. Easily meets GNG. There's hundreds if not thousands of hits. Nfitz (talk) 05:40, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fails WP:GNG & WP:NFOOTBALL. JMHamo (talk) 10:32, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Sources presented above seem to indicate GNG through the provision of detailed interviews with the player and articles on him that go beyond routine match reporting. Fenix down (talk) 14:24, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per Nfitz's comments, I have gone on google too and seen a couple sources about this footballer. What is needed now is that these are integrated and the article content is expanded. Article needs improvement not deleting. Inter&anthro (talk) 17:00, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There's nothing on this guy that meets WP:GNG. Fails WP:NFOOTBALL. At best you could merge him to Dalkurd FF. SW3 5DL (talk) 17:40, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. There are many reports about Azizi, but in Swedish. I don't understand Swedish. I wonder if the voters understand Swedish to discern notability. It seems he is the team captain. Jack N. Stock (talk) 02:58, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete clearly does not meet the notability guidelines for footballers. The other references are just not indepth enough to pass GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:30, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Per WP:GNG. Sources does point towards notability. The subject also has a Swedish Wiki article which is in better shape. The article is short and needs improvement and expansion, not deletion. AfD is not a clean-up service and we dont delete articles based on its size or shape but purely guidelines.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:38, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Meets GNG as per sources provided above.. --- PageantUpdater (talk) 03:20, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, so just to confirm, Azizi does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL as the team(s) he plays in are in the 2nd tier national leagues not the premier, ie. Superettan not Allsvenskan. Coolabahapple (talk) 09:55, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Correct, however, the discussion is centred more around whether the sources presented above by Nfitz indicate GNG. Fenix down (talk) 10:12, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
