Does not appear to be a notable association footballer, from an extensive search the only potential source I could find was this, which despite the title only mentions him in passing. Seemingly a WP:GNG failure. Devonian Wombat (talk) 11:46, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep - willing to AGF with the sources found by DO and say GNG is met. GiantSnowman 07:50, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep -, These sources show he is notable in United Arab Emirates: , , , , , , , , , , and , among many many other sources about him not listed here. On top of that, the UAE's Arabic newspapers emaratalyoum.com, albayan.ae, alkhaleej.ae, alittihad.ae, alroeya.com etc all have 2+ Google search pages worth of articles specifically about him. Not to mention websites like 24.ae, aawsat.com, dubaisports.ae, elsports.com, thenationalnews.com, khaleejtimes.com, gulfnews.com, YouTube, youm7.com, etc. He is clearly a significant figure in UAE football. In addition, he is am international capped player with over 100 pro appearances with an ongoing fully pro career where he is captain of his club team. I look at the other Sports WikiProjects and they don't nearly have an article deleted per day, let alone 10. By the time I finish writing this, another ten will probably be deleted. Article may need improvement, but definitely not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 23:57, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I can't read Arabic and Google Translate only takes me so far - please summaries their content. GiantSnowman 17:12, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * , 9 is an English interview article and the rest are interviews in Arabic about different topics. Keep in mind these sources are just a few examples and there are many many other sources about him not listed here from dubaisports.ae, youm7.com. 24.ae, aawsat.com, emaratalyoum.com, elsports.com alroeya.com, albayan.ae, khaleejtimes.com, gulfnews.com, thenationalnews.com, etc. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 21:14, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment Cited coverage by Das above is nothing but a collection of interviews, the articles quite literally consist in their entirety of quotes from the subject with no independent journalism present. Still no secondary coverage, still a clear WP:GNG failure. Devonian Wombat (talk) 22:56, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * , Besides the sources provided, some additional sources about him that do not have any quotes from him, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17, among many many other sources that do not have quotes from him not listed here show he is notable in United Arab Emirates.
