I am quite unsure as to why the page is considered for deletion. Mubarak is a notable sports personality and has played NCAA division 1 college soccer for the last two seasons for Saint Mary’s college of California. He was a NJCAA soccer player for Merritt College before that. He also trialed with the Nigerian U-17 Men’s national team in 2016. You can look at the external links in the page to see his sport profiles across the web.

Also, is there anything I can add to the page to prove credibility or make it fit under the notable sport person profile ? I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

Kindly consider the page for inclusion in Wikipedia. Thank you for your time and consideration. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. God bless you.

The article is not autobiography, I created this page on behalf of Mubarak. Coincidentally my name is also Mubarak, I am Mubarak Abubakar, his agent. I created this page to boost his online profile and he is seeking to pursue a professional career in soccer. Mubarakxg 18:12, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

 * As his agent, you are required to comply with WP:PAID, meaning to declare the connection on your User page. As he has not yet played at the professional level, he does not qualify for an article. David notMD (talk) 18:16, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello Mubarakxg. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Mubarak Haruna, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Mubarakxg. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 19:00, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

No I am not receiving any compensation whatsoever for my edits. Mubarakxg 05:17, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
