 * Keep - I think someone who has played in four FIFA World Cup qualifiers is probably notable. He's apparently quite young (played for Niger's U-20 squad last year), but has already played internationally. I'm struggling to find much online press, but that's to be expected for someone who gained notability in West Africa. Jogurney (talk) 04:21, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * According to the article, those 4 games were the only games he ever played professionally. That's not very much if that's all there is, but as you point out, the lack of sourcing is an issue, so there may be more. Gigs (talk) 22:05, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - As a Nigerien international, he is quite clearly notable. Sir Sputnik (talk) 22:55, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Playing for the national team of a country of 15 million is about as far from "run of the mill" as you can get.Phil Bridger (talk) 23:24, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep per the above, though sourcing is (and will likely continue to be) an issue. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 21:15, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
