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

Article about lawyer and former footballer (although I'm struggling to find proof that the lawyer is indeed the former footballer) which fails WP:GNG. It reads like a CV with promotional information from his employers and links to speaking engagements and an article he authored, but nothing that is significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. His footballing career might have received notice, but I can't find anything except database entries and routine coverage like match reports and squad listings. There are press releases and  that cover his appointment to the board of FIFPro and as an arbitrator at the CAS, but they're not from independent sources (nor are they in-depth coverage). Kept at AfD several years ago before NFOOTBALL was deprecated. Jogurney (talk) 20:04, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. I've found press releases [1 ] about his role as leader of the Qatar Sports Arbitration Foundation, and while I didn't find anything asserting that he is the same person as the lawyer, it seems feasible given all the information present, although to draw that conclusion would probably be WP:SYNTH. Still, the only articles are press releases, which aren't indicative of notability according to WP:PRSOURCE, so I agree. Aamri2 (talk) 21:29, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 08:27, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - academic career isn't sufficient for using WP:PROF criteria, and other activities don't meet WP:GNG. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 06:27, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete this attempt at a Wikipedia presence since subject distinctly lacks evidence of notability in the fields presented. The fact that the main contributor to the text has been a kamikaze account only amplifies the sickly aroma of promotion. -The Gnome (talk) 11:54, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
