Confusing article about a supposed footballer with a few red flags about its accuracy. First of all, the subject is not mentioned in the official website of the national football team, though I'm not sure if it's updated or not.

The infobox states that the subject scored 3 goals with the Yemeni national team for which he plays from 2018 onwards, yet the article itself lists 4, with 2 of them being in 2015, when the subject was... 13 years old? There is an easy explanation for this: those 2 are copied from Ahmed Al-Sarori, who was listed as the number 7 of the Yemeni national team everywhere on Wikipedia until early December this year. They just copied the table from that article. The third and fourth goals are copied from the article of Abdulwasea Al-Matari.

The only sources about this person are databases, some are weird while some are somewhat known. Those only say that his career started in or after 2019.

So per these databases, it would meet the former WP:NFOOTBALL, but that's depreciated and footballers now need to pass the SPORTCRIT, which this certainly does not. May be a hoax, definitely not notable. ~Styyx^Talk? 13:08, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - appears to be a hoax. Searching his name in English, this appears to be a YouTuber, 'businessperson' and content creator. On his Instagram account, he now claims to be a footballer, however, it would seem he is mainly known for posting videos of himself playing PUBG: Battlegrounds. I can't see any non-database coverage about this person at all and, per the nominator, the content is taken from Ahmed Al-Sarori and Abdulwasea Al-Matari Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 13:31, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• comment: If this page has some problems, it can be cleaned and fixed by the editors instead of deletion, and if the page is not noticeable and the sources are not reliable, then all pages Yemeni footballers and Qatari footballers It should be deleted 90% of the pages of the Yemeni and Qatari football players are not noticeable and also the sources were brought from sources similar to the page Ahmed Al-Hemyari.

If you care about notability, look at this Yemeni footballers and Qatari footballers You will find 90% of the profiles of the players are not prominent .

I hope all editors will fix and clean this article instead of deleting it because this is a Yemeni player in a category Yemeni footballers Instead of deleting it, you should clean and repair it If there are doubts about the reliable or notable sources, I hope this discussion applies to all pages Yemeni footballers and Qatari footballers . Thank you I really appreciate your contributions and have a nice day .

• Delete Non-notable individual, fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. On a further note, if 90% of the individuals in the above mentioned categories lack the significant coverage to pass GNG, then their articles should also be deleted.

I've had a cursory look at the Qatari footballers and was shocked to see that the majority of them don't have significant coverage cited. Whether or not such coverage exists is, of course, another matter. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 17:54, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
