  • Keep African Player of the Year - notable. Added some sources. EliminatorJR Talk 03:16, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. If being named the best football player on an entire continent isn't notable, I don't know what is. But the article needs to be expanded. Realkyhick 06:30, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as notable, but is currently a very short stub- can be well expanded. CattleGirl talk | sign! | review me 08:35, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep.--I already forgot 10:18, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Not sure what kind of reference the article needs, since it only states basic facts like date of birth, one former club and that the player won CAF player of the year award, which is a well-knwn fact. The article needs to be expanded though, unfortunately I haven't found any more information on the player so if anybody willing to help, that would be appreciated. None the less, once best football player in Africa definitely deserves a mention. User:BanRay
  • Keep but rewrite - It's notable but badly written. -- Wenli 17:40, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep for the reasons stated. --ChaChaFut

  • Keep played in the Bundesliga, the top professional league in Germany and one of the strongest leagues in Europe if not the world, thereby satisfying the requirements of WP:BIO even without taking the African Footballer of the Year award into account.....ChrisTheDude 22:23, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per the above. Mr. Berry 23:50, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - subject played in a continental tournament, and won African Footballer of the Year, which make him very definitely notable. Being unreferenced alone is merely grounds for improvement and review, not deletion. Qwghlm 23:54, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
