Louardi Badjika

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

WP:NFOOTY is no longer a valid SNG, so GNG must be met. It needs several refs from independent, reliable, secondary sources to pass WP:GNG. It currently has zero. Was moved to draft in hopes of improvement, but was moved back without any improvement, simply the adding of non-reliable blog source which was titled by the editor, "In-Depth article about Louardi Badjika".

 * Keep - I found among more sources. Definelty has offline sources, having played 200+ games in fully pro French Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 in a career spanning 10+ years. Article needs improvement, not deleution. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 23:22, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment - the above source is a blog. Not a WP:RS. Onel 5969  TT me 01:56, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I completely agree. It's an unacceptable source. See Skyrock (social network site) - stuff posted on there is no more an indication of notability than having coverage on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram etc. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 08:32, 18 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. Any unsubstantiated claims of that there WP:MUSTBESOURCES are just that, unsubstantiated claims. Alvaldi (talk) 09:09, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - The only online source I can find covering Badjika in detail is the blog noted above. Unfortunately, I can't determine whether the kurbos behind the blog is a journalist with an expertise in football (we can only see that it is a 52-year old from Ligny-en-Barrois). I suspect this person used some French-language media sources to write the post, but they didn't credit anything, so we're left with zero SIGCOV. Seeing that Badjika played most of his career in Ligue 2 during the 1980s, it's not a huge surprise I'm struggling to find anything. That said, it's possible there may be something if we had access to newspaper archives. Jogurney (talk) 22:42, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 19:20, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
