:({{Find sources AFD|title=Mamadou Diawara (footballer)}})

Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. There is only one source in the article, [https://www.seneplus.com/football/francais-dorigine-guineo-senegalaise-mamadou-diawara-penche-plus an interview] with trivial prose. I was unable to find anything better during a search. Alvaldi (talk) 19:10, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

• Keep - I found [https://www.lamontagne.fr/clermont-ferrand-63000/football/le-clermontois-diawara-ce-globe-trotter-du-football_13018678/#error=login_required&state=836b3374-2b28-46d9-87e6-0039b4242482], [https://www.seneplus.com/football/francais-dorigine-guineo-senegalaise-mamadou-diawara-penche-plus], [https://www.ouest-france.fr/pays-de-la-loire/chemille-melay-49120/canal-filme-un-jeune-joueur-de-foot-pro-3946365], [https://www.footmercato.net/a7113744897919553844-a-la-decouverte-de-la-girabola-le-championnat-dangola], [https://www.vice.com/fr/article/7xk43y/on-a-rencontre-le-seul-joueur-francais-dafrique-subsaharienne], [https://www.sofoot.com/articles/mamadou-diawara-il-y-avait-des-corps-etendus-par-terre], [https://lagrinta.fr/mamadou-diawara-une-selection-avec-la-guinee-cela-ne-se-refuse-pas&7245/], [https://lexpress.mg/08/04/2017/football-coupe-de-la-caf-les-angolais-debarquent/], [https://archive.ph/wip/b9zrJ], and [https://archive.ph/wip/yXDTm], among many many more French, Arabic, Greek, and Portuguese sources. Clearly topic of interest with ongoing career with extensive pro career including in the elite level Portuguese Primeira Liga. Article needs improvement, not deletion. Regarding most of the consistent pro-deletion users, I dont understand why they spend all their effort deleting other peoples honest hard work instead of improving them, especially most pro-deletion users I have encountered who have a double standard where they either support Wikipedia:SNG where the article doesn't need to meet WP:GNG or have sometimes created articles of people with less coverage than this one. (I support article creation, but many pro-deletion users double standard is very frustrating) Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 05:04, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

::Das osmnezz, you can of course express at any time your opinions about "pro-deletion" editors but here they prove to be counter productive, since they distract from the AfD process. Better to bring such observations or grievances to an appropriate forum, such as ANI or the AfD talk page. Take care. -The Gnome (talk) 16:13, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

• Keep per sources above which show notability. GiantSnowman 08:35, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
• Keep - [https://www.lamontagne.fr/clermont-ferrand-63000/football/le-clermontois-diawara-ce-globe-trotter-du-football_13018678/ La Montagne] and [https://www.seneplus.com/football/francais-dorigine-guineo-senegalaise-mamadou-diawara-penche-plus SenePlus] seem significant and both give Diawara more than just a trivial mention. These two are enough it would seem. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 22:06, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
• Keep, clearly passes GNG, proper BEFORE not done.--Ortizesp (talk) 02:37, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
