[edit] Noureddine Maamria

Noureddine Maamria (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Redirect: Dino Maamria (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Football (soccer) player from Tunisia, was deleted along with other players, but the deletion was overturned in his case as a player for the U21 national side. Relisted here to get new consensus. This is a procedural nomination, I have no opinion. ~ trialsanderrors 07:02, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete no sign of notability strictly according to WP:BIO; the fact he played for the Tunisia U-21 side does not make him notable at all, or do we also want to include all the U-21 San Marino and Andorra players?!? --Angelo 12:25, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - yes, I would be of the opinion that an U-21 international is certainly worthy of an article. I'm also of the opinion that the Conference National Division is now a professional league with three semi-pro teams in it rather than the other way around, so I'd vote to keep Maamria on that score anyway. - fchd 20:45, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
• Comment for me, the crucial question is whether playing for a team in the USL First Division (Charleston Battery) counts under WP:BIO as playing in a fully professional league. Robotforaday 15:06, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Leaving apart my own opinion about the WP:BIO rule (I always thought the inclusion of every single professional player to be way too exxagerated for a serious encyclopedia), I have serious doubt about the notability of USL league club players (are USL clubs fully professional?!?), especially when regarding players on loan from a non-professional English club such as in this case. --Angelo 15:24, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as there's no evidence he satisifes WP:BIO, although he comes close. Qwghlm 16:40, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
• Sadly delete both the original article and the redirect - I went desperately through the league tables of each team in each season he played for them, and none of them had made it past Conference level at the time he played for them.. though the progress of Doncaster into League One since his exit five years ago has to be highly commended.

• Delete as he fails WP:BIO. Playing for an under-21 national team is not a sign of notability. – Elisson • T • C • 18:27, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
