Daoud Boularaoui

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

This is one of the weirdest articles I've seen in some time. I don't know where to start. So, it seems "Daoud Boularaoui" (or maybe its "Boularaoui Daoud": the article and the infobox conflict) coached soccer for some obscure teams in Algeria (although oddly it uses the infobox for NFL (American football) players).

It was created back in 2017 by this single-purpose account with the content "- He USE A MODERN STYLE OF TRAINING WITH A GOOD METHOD WHICH MAKE PLAYERS LIKE FOOTBALL AND GIVE THEM THE NEW IDEAS ABOUT MODERN FOOTBALL. - ALSO IMPROVE THE INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE SKILLS. - GOOD COMMUNICATION WITH PLAYERS .GOOD PSYCHOLOGICAL MANNER" referencing his facebook page and example.com, both unreliable sources. It seems all the teams he's played for and coached do not have articles, except for Al Batin FC, although according to our article for it he never actually coached there. Apparently his "career highlights" are "Experience in conditioning training / French method" ... lol.

I've looked on google for "Daoud Boularaoui" and didn't find anything besides wiki mirrors (except for this one thing, saying "Daoud BOULARAOUI: I want to know all the people who bear the name Boularaoui." and that he was born in 1978.) Additionally, I searched for what the article says is his Arabic (I think its Arabic) name "بالعربية : داود بولعراوي" on google and didn't find anything through that either. This article fails WP:GNG, WP:SPORTSBASIC, WP:NOT, and every other biographical article criteria we have here. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:02, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete I do not want to delete biographies just because the subject matter is non-English, but we have nothing here either in English or any other language. Wikipedia has a quality control system which depends on fact checking and we have no sources to verify any of the claims here. I see in Wikidata that Google established a search ID for this person but even in Google there is little to examine.   Bluerasberry   (talk)  20:52, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - no evidence of notability. Clearly promotional. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 20:52, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Well, he was sanctioned for 6mths for something . Limited it to either French sources or .dz websites for Algeria, [=&lang=fr]], something a university. That's about all I see, very far from GNG. Oaktree b (talk) 22:35, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - I can't find anything in French or Arabic language searches that indicate this football manager is the subject of significantn coverage in reliable sources. He definitely exists, and has managed clubs in Algeria and Oman, but it looks like a comprehensive failure of WP:GNG. Jogurney (talk) 17:27, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
