prod contested. As written, article doesn't tell me if this guy is a benchwarmer, super star or something in between. As far as I am concerned, simply being a soccer player means nothing. What you do while you are playing soccer is what makes you notable or not. Nothing here indicates notability. The way I see it, if there was something notable to be said about the guy, someone would have said it. Since nothing was said, there must be nothing notable about the guy Postcard Cathy 21:55, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. This says he's played on two pro Belgian teams. Clarityfiend 23:55, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Plays professional football in the Belgian league so by Wikipedia policy and precedent is clearly notable. Nick mallory 00:43, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Clarity, Nick: The article doesn't indicate how much he has played, if he spent 99% of his time on the bench and 1% or less on the field, etc. I don't care if he is on soccer's equivalent of the NY Yankees.  If he spent most of his time being soccer's equivalent of the bullpen catcher, he is not wiki worthy!   Postcard Cathy 04:37, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * You're supposed to look for sources yourself Cathy and if you can't find anything then bring it to AfD. A moment's googling would have shown that this chap not only plays in a fully professional European league but has international caps for his country.  You might not agree with the notability requirements but they are what they are.  Also relating every soccer player to baseball isn't really helping the debate.

 * Please see WP:BIO, if he has a played a game in a professional league he can be considered notable. Dave101 →talk  19:20, 21 August 2007 (UTC)


 * This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related deletions. ChrisTheDude 07:27, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep satisfies WP:BIO but urgently needs expansion!!!! ChrisTheDude 07:32, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Fully pro team and six international caps, what else do you need? --  Ban Ray   09:01, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Plays in professional league so meets WP:BIO. Davewild 09:14, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as it already asserts notability, but I'm not particularly fond of the mass substub creation of the article starter. Punkmorten 11:25, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Professional international footballer. Also WP isn't exactly drenched with articles on african football. Quickly deleting every stub won't help WP to expand on the subject. It's entirly possible someone comes along and add some much needed expanding. Sebisthlm 12:45, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep These thoughtless nominations of people who clearly meet policy requirements show a lack of respect for the valuable time of your fellow wikipedians. Brandon97 14:09, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly meets WP:BIO. Dave101 →talk  19:20, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly meets WP:BIO. This is yet another frivolous nomination by nom. who appears not to be willing to follow WP:GD. --Malcolmxl5 21:43, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
