Dosseh Attivi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

IMO fails WP:NFOOTBALL - the team he played for in 2012 was a second league team. Now he doesn't have a team to play for. Gbawden (talk) 10:03, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
 * United Sikkim F.C. plays in I-League.Open this link and see it is written I-League.If u still doubt then click I-league.http://int.soccerway.com/players/dg-atttivi/275438/ Royroydeb (talk)Royroydeb —Preceding undated comment added 10:05, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: - According to United Sikkim F.C. Sikkim played I-League 2nd Division in 2012, when he would have played with them. Sikkim won promotion to the I-League for 2013, but crucially Attivi isn't playing for them this season. Gbawden (talk) 10:17, 18 February 2013 (UTC)


 * He signed in 2012-13 season but was released by United Sikkim.Royroydeb (talk)Royroydeb 16:19 IST


 * Keep: Despite this article not having any information and failing GNG by a lot, it still passes WP:NFOOTY as Attivi has played for United Sikkim in the I-League. . --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 12:39, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Lets not confuse I-League which they play in in 2013 (without Attivi) and I-League 2nd Division which they played in in 2012 Gbawden (talk) 12:48, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
 * We are not. Here is an article from October 2012 after United Sikkim played there first match in the I-League (2012-13 I-League) in which it says that Attivi signed... . Not enough? Here is an actual video... . --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 12:53, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment - ArsenalFan, as our resident expert in Indian football, do you think this could be (relatively quickly) brought up to meet GNG? GiantSnowman 14:19, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
 * That depends on if anyone can find information about him from before he played in India. I wont be able to expand the article using only India sources because the club he played for were recently promoted and they dont release information on their players, and from what I know, none of the leading Indian football websites (around 10) did not even do a profile on him. So at this moment the only thing I can do is 1 thing: Make a sentence about the only goal he scored in the Indian league and reference it. Other than that I cant add much. His debut is under confusion right now so I cant do that. Also keep in mind he was signed in October and only stayed till December when he was released for John Matkin. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 14:44, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
 * If you want to expand/improve the article as much as you can do, I'm extremely borderline here. GiantSnowman 14:54, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I will see what I can do. Like I said, I can only really do 1 sentence about the goal. If you type in his name, you wont find anything else but match-reports and stories about James Moga's goal after around 15 seconds. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 15:10, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm not finding much. GiantSnowman 15:33, 18 February 2013 (UTC)


 * This is the link for it proving that Dosseh played in I-League.http://www.istream.com/sports/watch/222338/Full-HLs--Pune-FC-vs-United-Sikkim Royroydeb (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 08:32, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Weak delete - yes he passes WP:NFOOTBALL, but fails WP:GNG which is more important. If he was a younger player I might give him the benefit of the doubt, but at 24 should have had enough by now to satisfy GNG. This leads me to conclude he is not notable. GiantSnowman 16:07, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - Although the article technically satisfies NSPORTS, it doesn't appear to be able to satisfy the GNG. I searched Togolese sources and found very little coverage (I've added to the article), and while it's possible his brief stint in Thailand might have garnered some local coverage there, all together his professional career has been very marginal (a few months here and there) and the coverage of it has also been very marginal. Jogurney (talk) 17:01, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. GNG failure, particularly given that he apparently did not even see out his one year contract. Fenix down (talk) 09:33, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
