Abdul Qayyum (footballer)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This footballer has an article because of a 3 minute cameo 4.5 years ago but I can't find any significant coverage of him. He is mentioned once in an article in the Star and a Bharian article, both of which are about the same subject. Neither article provides any depth.

Unless WP:GNG can be clearly demonstrated, the borderline passing of WP:NFOOTBALL is not enough and there is a growing consensus among the Wikipedia community that GNG takes priority in cases similar to this one. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 21:57, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

*Delete per nom not enough news coverage. Citterz (talk) 10:24, 8 April 2021 (UTC) striking confirmed blocked sockpuppet, Atlantic306 (talk) 01:19, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete As often discussed, scraping by NFOOTBALL standards with a few minutes of professional football a few years ago isn't much good if GNG is not established. JW 1961 Talk 09:08, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - there is longstanding consensus that scraping by on NFOOTBALL with one or two appearances is insufficient when GNG is failed so comprehensively, as is the case here. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 09:29, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails GNG.--MadD (talk) 11:02, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: I made this? I need to check my contribution history to see why but yeah, barely passes WP:NFOOTY and fails WP:GNG. I did try to see if there are any articles but I can't find much. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 08:31, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I was very surprised to see that you had created this as well! It is what it is, it technically meets the criteria for creation and, to be honest, it's only been the last few years or so where there has been a push to enforce GNG on borderline NSPORTS cases Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 16:46, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah, I got it! At the time, Penang was coached by Ashley Westwood, the former coach of Bengaluru in India. I think I might have checked the page, saw it was a mess so I cleaned it up and then noticed, I suspect (don't remember and too lazy to check all those player page histories) that Qayyum was the only one who did not have a page, so I checked and saw he had a game and made the article. So, mystery solved. Still delete haha. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 19:23, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
