Ola Alabi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PROD contested on grounds that this player had played in a professional league in Cyprus; however, that claim remains unverified and I cannot find any sources which prove this player meets either WP:GNG or WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 09:42, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete – No player named "Ola Alabi" has made a league appearance for Alki Larnaca in 2010–11: The only player named "Alabi" I could find by looking up the Greek variant of his name ("Όλα Αλαμπί") is Rasheed Alabi, so it's possible he wasn't even signed to any Cypriot club. Thus, he fails WP:NFOOTY. –  Kosm  1  fent  10:13, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment on the page of his actual club the cleary say that he play for Alki Larnaca, so I think we need to recheck all the ref because all the ref that cite him they said he played for Alki (e.g. his linkedin page), but no one ref that told about the Alki said that he played for them. For example I found this page:  that said that he was in the team. Stigni (talk) 13:43, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying that he definitely wasn't signed to Alki, only that I cannot find any sign of him in Greek-language sources. If he played for a club in the top-level Cypriot league, at least a namecheck of him would certainly exist, even in web portals of questionable reliability. ;) Cheers. – Kosm  1  fent  13:53, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I blocked the PROD only for run another check on all the source about him, because it is clear that he signed for Alki but it is not clear if he played for the first team. Stigni (talk) 15:02, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - as unverified. Unless someone can provide reliable sources to show that he actually played for Alki, the article fails WP:NSPORT and there is insufficient coverage for him to meet WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:28, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - this reminds me of a discussion on Talk:Christian Nzinga, where the player's current club stated that he had played for clubs that he never played for. If Alabi's only claim for notability was that he played for Alki Larnaca in 2010–11, as it cannot be verified if he passes WP:NFOOTY. Mentoz86 (talk) 10:25, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
