Ali Naajih

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

Doesn't yet meet WP:SPORTBASIC. In a WP:BEFORE search I can find only passing mentions of him in two match reports for 2021: one for an international friendly, and one for a U23 Asia Cup qualifier. Declined in draft a few hours before it was posted here unsourced. His name isn't given in Divehi, so I tried searching for the Google translation ޢަލީ ނާޖިޙް, though I'm not sure that's the correct spelling of his name. Storchy (talk) 15:26, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

 * The tier of play is irrelevant. WP:SPORTBASIC is based on the footballer needing to have significant coverage from reliable sources. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 21:10, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Hello Maxi1963, thanks for these links but we're not looking for proof that he played in matches, we're looking for articles written about him in reliable, WP:Secondary sources, to show his WP:Notability. Do you read Divehi? If you can find articles about him in Maldivian newspapers, that could help. Storchy (talk) 23:14, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
 * There are so many articles about him,

 * https://adhadhu.com/article/18094 and https://adhadhu.com/article/10817 above are good ones, thanks, articles mainly about Ali Naajih in a national newspaper, and should be added to the article. The rest are about his team, and mention him only in passing. Storchy (talk) 00:33, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
