• Redirect to Tanta SC. I am not seeing any reason to keep the article as other squad players don't have one, but I wouldn't be against deletion either. Maybe there are foreign language sources we can't see so on that basis a redirect preserves the history if there is scope to expand in future.

I would be more supportive of redirect if he were a one-club man. Redirecting to Tanta would give undue weight to that club over the other 3 that he played for before. Once he leaves Tanta, he will also cease to be listed at Tanta's Wikipedia article so, if the redirect remained at that stage, it may cause confusion. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 12:34, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's a perfectly valid point, though the other clubs he seemingly played for have no (known?) stats and he has been at the current club for a healthy 6 years. I was more thinking along the lines of preserving the history and that any meaningful coverage (perhaps those listed below by CT55555) is likely to be in relation to Tanta. However as noted, I would not be against delete either unless verified reliable sources are determined. Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:21, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. I was unable to find any coverage during a search, including in Egyptian media. Alvaldi (talk) 11:35, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment, I didn't add it in as I don't feel skilled to assess Egyptian reliable sources, but these sources suggest notability:

It's secondary, it's in depth, I just don't know about the quality of the site)

• Keep - at least 57 appearances (per Soccerway) in the Egyptian Premier League, and sources are out there as shown above by CT55555. Nominator has clearly not even bothered looking as required by WP:BEFORE. GiantSnowman 11:10, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Soccerway doesn't even record matches before 2019. Over 100 EPL matches; international caps to. There's coverage out there linked above that appears to meet GNG. A completely dreadful nomination. I really don't know what User:Alvaldi is supporting here. Nfitz (talk) 00:14, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - A number of appearanced per Soccerway in the Egyptian Premier League, as GiantSnowman mentioned, sources are out there as shown above by CT55555 and this nominator seems to have a big problem with not doing any WP:BEFORE and appears to be just keen to delete football articles.— NZFC^(talk)(cont) 06:08, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
