Ali Al-Aliany

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Can't find any evidence of notability. All of the 4 foreign language Wikipedia articles on him are based on his Transfermarkt profile, an unreliable self-published source. Searches of "علي العلياني" have yielded no useful coverage even when adding 'football' (كرة القدم). Soccerway shows 106 mins of professional football and there is clear consensus at recent AfDs that such a brief career in the game is never acceptable grounds for keeping an article on its own.

 * Comment - evidently "علي العلياني" is an extremely common name in Arabic-speaking countries. I have trawled through pages and pages and not found anything relating to football. I cannot say that my searches have been absolutely exhaustive, though, so, of course, if someone does uncover multiple in-depth sources about this man, I will withdraw this nom.
