Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oliver Maloba


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. The result was Procedural Keep. I don't think we are going to get anything out of this AfD, there seems clear consensus that there could be some notable individuals included here but also that there are probably a number of non-notable individuals listed. This close should not be taken as confirmation that any of the individuals listed are by consensus notable and editors should feel free to relist individually where they feel appropriate.

Footballer who fails WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG. Despite the number of references, almost all of them are trivial transfer updates. --BlameRuiner (talk) 14:19, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following pages (all of them are non-international Kenyan footballers) by the same author, for the same reasons as above:

 * Delete all All of them fail WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG like the nominator has said with the references basically being WP:ROUTINE. HawkAussie (talk) 22:04, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Procedural keep - 1 AfD for 16 articles isn't, in my opinion, appropriate. Separate AfDs would be fine. If NFOOTY was the be-all and end-all then no problem, but as GNG is all-important extra care needs to be taken. A quick look at a few of the articles suggest the GNG level could vary, namely between (picked at random) Calvins Masawa, Victor Okullu and Oliver Maloba. No instant rush to delete, if deletion is correct it will come. R96Skinner (talk) 02:13, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Procedural Keep Bulk nomination in this case is inappropriate as there are separate issues that need to be considered for each. No objection to renominating players individually so we can do this the right way. Smartyllama (talk) 18:40, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Mr Maloba who fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL but procedural keep for the rest. This kind of bundling is entirely inappropriate. GiantSnowman 11:41, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Procedural keep/close, agree with the couple of editors above, 16 articles up for deletion in one afd like this is too many for appropriate consideration to be given. ps. and if these are so straight forward to delete why were they not prodded? Coolabahapple (talk)
 * Delete all We have kept on the rubbish undersourced psedo articles on footballers for way to long. It is high time we clean house.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:17, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Procedural keep Looking at Oliver Maloba, he passes WP:GNG - yes, he fails NFOOTY, but he's one of the players nominated for the Kenyan league's most valuable player award, and playing for some of the best teams in the country, has a well-referenced start-class article, and easily passes a before search. I'm not about to go through all 16 articles when the first one so obviously is a bad nomination. If there are others which clearly fail WP:GNG, feel free to renominate individually.
