Contested PROD. Concern was ''Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. Contrary to the assertion of the article, he did not play in the 2012 Olympics.'' PROD was contested on the grounds that plays for the Senegalese U-23 team, which does not confer notability, and based on the mistaken assertion that he was part of Senegal's Olympic squad. While he was one of the stand-by players (see this) but was not called to, much less played in the Olympics which would be necessary to meet WP:NSPORT. More importantly, he has not received significant coverage in reliable sources meaning the article fails WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:24, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Redirect to AS Douanes (Dakar). Any athlete must pass strict criteria before becoming eligable for their own articles.  For now, I'd redirect since articles about minor league teams often have redlinks to potential articles, encouraging someone to create articles like this one.

 * Delete - didn't join the squad in the Olympics, so he doesn't meet that criteria. Additionally he hasn't played in a fully pro league or represented his country at senior level, which means it fails WP:NFOOTY. Also fails WP:GNG due to lack of in-depth coverage in reliable sources.
