Lamine Dieng

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Fails WP:Creative. No assertion of notability, and the only news article I could find that mentions him is not in English-. The Swedish version of this article is equally unreferenced. Petropoxy (Lithoderm Proxy) (talk) 01:28, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. But Petropoxy, may I point out that sources do not have to be in English; it's our responsibility to be polyglots. The article mentions a soccer trainer of the same name. The subject of the article is not notable. Drmies (talk) 04:15, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment, per Drmies: Lamine & Dieng are both common names in West Africa (and especially Senegal), so this title will likely be recreated. Following google, The 2007 "Affaire Lamine Dieng" got much press when a young man of that name was killed in police custody in Paris. The trainer of US Goree, a Senegalese D1 team, is named Lamine Dieng.  I guarantee there will be others, so any deletion should not prejudice recreation. T L Miles (talk) 14:54, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
