Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested with the rationale I find many sources on the player seems to meet GNG. The sources listed in the article are routine sports journalism and do not amount to significant coverage.

• Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. If GNG can be met then please evidence it; I'll be more than happy to re-consider. GiantSnowman 19:35, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
• Delete - Player has not played in fully professional league, nor played senior international football, so fails NFOOTY. No indication of any other achievements garnering significant reliable coverage to achieve GNG. The Azeri league is no longer considered an FPL. Fenix down (talk) 08:59, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

• Keep it presumably meets GNG, based on (mostly) non-English sources. Player has been involved in a controversy related to playing against an Israeli team, in the Europa league, which caused his informal "banning" from Morocco national team.[http://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2013/12/116250/moroccan-football-player-deprived-of-national-team-because-of-israel/][http://www.hesport.com/%D8%A3%D8%AE%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B1/3402.html]. Sources I could find, that are directly about the player: [http://www.amanpress.com/?p=6564] [http://www.aljarida.com/news/index/390216/] [http://www.lemag.ma/Zouhair-Benouahi-Israel-et-Taoussi-m-ont-oblige-a-demander-la-nationalite-de-l-Azerbaidjan_a78450.html] [http://nieuws.marokko.nl/30498/marokkaanse-voetballer-geboycot-na-wedstrijd-in-israel/s/f3cf340a12f312b56f53953f0b306fa1/] [http://www.azerisport.com/az/futbol/20111211013810459.html]. Note that there are alternative spellings of the name (e.g. Zohair Benuahi, Zouhair Benouahi) and that Azeri results probably do not show on Google for most people. --Tachfin (talk) 15:24, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

:*Comment - With the exception of [http://www.azerisport.com/az/futbol/20111211013810459.html this], they are all very, very brief articles. It does seem like he has got some degree of coverage, but it doesn't really seem to be of asignificant level. Fenix down (talk) 15:55, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
