 * Comment You pasted exact this statement in at least eight more discussions about football players recently, whether the league is already known as professional or not. E. g. Dustin Chung & Ateya El-Belqasy. Is there any reason why you deny notability even if notability is clearly given? Did you check each article and notability carefully or are you just pasting your vote? --Ilion2 (talk) 11:13, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Played since 2004 in the Libyan Premier League, the highest division of Libyan football. --Ilion2 (talk) 11:13, 18 July 2009 (UTC) P.S. In the squad of the Libya national football team. 2009 he played in the African Championship of Nations and scored for the winnig team in the final of the Libyan Cup 2008–09. Added this to the article.
 * Comment This needs sourcing. If it's sourced then the article is fine. Spiderone (talk) 12:10, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment There is no need to source facts in every article using facts from other articles. --Ilion2 (talk) 12:48, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Weak keep Has apparently played at the highest level, i.e. for his country at the African Championship of Nations, but this fact needs to be verified and a source added to the article. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 18:58, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * P.S. I have added sources that confirm that Shaban is an international player. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 19:23, 25 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. Sources now in the article confirm that the subject has 5 international caps for Libya. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:16, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
