Alieu Darbo
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

non-notable footballer  A real youth player but hoax career. despite repeated news from Africa and Nordic claimed he made his debut in France in a cup match, the opponent don't even exist. (No French source support it either) Seem the player is real but his agent (or himself ) try to rescue his career by keep giving hoax to news outlet to support his non-existed move to Wigan, to Spain, so that Crotone and the Croatian side really offered him contract (supported by fccrotone.it and UEFA.com) in that nature, I doubt that although Soccerway and footballdatabase claimed that he played for Finnish side Inter Turku in January 2014 in a cup match, no real match report (nor any .fi website) support that. Lastly, Maltese League is not a fully professional league. Even this deletion is failed, please consider lock this page to higher protection as I doubt there is only one sockmaster editing (two IP from Nigeria and Senegal, and two users. ) Matthew_hk  t  c  16:15, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - Obviously this article could use some cleanup, but according to FIFA he's played for the Gambia, meaning the article meets WP:NSPORT. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:41, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Youth cap did not count. Unused bench at senior level neither as notable. Matthew_hk   t  c  16:47, 5 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep | This article proves he played professionally in egypt as well as mentioning him playing in croatia, maybe this is the fault of the stats keepers? AlessandroTiandelli333 (talk) 16:48, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment the problem of this player were repeated news articles from Africa and Nodric that claims he made his debut in XYZ place, for example in France but no French source to support it, in Croatia but no Croatian source to support it, in Finland but no Finnish source support it (I find the TPS match report from official site but they only kept the lineup of themselves but not Inter) For Egypt, please find an Arabic source to support not a Gambia source due to repeated hoax on the same player.


 * Moreover, the Gambian sources quoted transfermarkt to referencing his Egypt club stats. which Wikipedia long considered as a less notable / reliable source as it was community based. Freely to dig out actual match report. Matthew_hk   t  c  17:08, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Its in English but its an egyptian site with pictures and stuff, well known site so it would have to be a pretty major hoax for this to be fake AlessandroTiandelli333 (talk) 17:13, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Not sure signing for professional club qualify for WP:GNG (at least UEFA.com confirm his Croatia signing), but without any real match report of professional league, the player fails WP:NSPORT Matthew_hk   t  c  17:20, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Withdrew found the Finnish match report in FC Inter site http://fcinter.fi/uutiset/2014/01/31/inter-jalleen-tpsaa-vahvempi since TPS and Inter were professional club, the League Cup match may qualify for WP:NSPORT. Still the article was repeatly attack by hoax statistics and Wigan seem a hoax http://www.wigan.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=287840 Matthew_hk   t  c  18:20, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
