Declined PROD based on this source . Too little to establishes WP:GNG for a staff personnel. Svartner (talk) 04:13, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

Well, that article is certainly a start. One or two more like that and I think he'd have WP:SIGCOV. I'll take a bit of a look. Ike Lek (talk) 04:46, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

• Keep- ok, so far I have found these and I can't tell if this is the same person While he seems to be a French Algerian, he likely has an Arabic name as he appears to be closely connected to the country and not just a French person born there. If anyone knows what it might be, I may be able to find more info on his earlier life. - Ike Lek (talk) 05:14, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
• Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. GiantSnowman 18:13, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
• Delete - no evidence of notability. Sources above look to be WP:NOTNEWS. If significant sources are found which show significant coverage please ping me. GiantSnowman 18:18, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
• Weak keep? I'm surprised how much coverage there is of him coaching Sabah FC for only a couple months mostly because I'm not very familiar with Malaysian coverage, but it looks like it's enough for an article. I found a couple PressReader articles as well which are near impossible to correctly link. SportingFlyer T·C 19:21, 12 July 2025 (UTC)
• Delete—I think I might be able to be convinced on this one (even though the article itself is terrible), but as it stands, there's nothing but speculation that he might come close to WP:GNG. Currently, though, he fails it. Anwegmann (talk) 01:53, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
• Keep - Per sources in article (like the FourFourTwo source) and ones supplied by Ike Lek. Has experience managing a few pro teams and has sources. Article needs improvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 06:51, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, The Bushranger _{One ping only} 08:39, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

• weak keep: The last two sources from Singapore are about this person; I pulled up the Independent in my own search, then saw it was already sourced in the article. Some coverage about him being hired with little to no experience/lack of local knowledge. Oaktree b (talk) 13:59, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
• Keep per Ike Lek's source review. The subject passes a WP:SPORTBASIC test. Iljhgtn (talk) 07:58, 25 July 2025 (UTC)
