Previously hijacked article, which I have now reverted. I'm concerned that this semi-pro footballer fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC. Searches in Google News, DDG and ProQuest were unsuccessful in locating in-depth coverage of Seidu. I found one possibly relevant hit in Africa News Service (EDIT: article was published in 2000 so won't be about this Seidu), I can't seem to access the entire article, but the chances of it containing significant coverage are quite low. In any cases, I am unable to find multiple WP:RS addressing Seidu in detail. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 09:42, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Leaning towards delete He is 30 years old so I assume he must have made few appearances (if not many) in Ghana Premier League which is a professional league but I was unable to find any stats or coverage online. The article also does not provide any information about his appearances. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fifthapril (talk • contribs) 12:18, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete Google search shows me nothing about this footballer. But he might be notable next year, so I suggest this article to move it to draft. Mr Alebiii (talk) 09:08, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Given we know nothing about what happened with this footballer after 2008 and given the current age of the player, I'd say it's highly unlikely there'll be any chance of future notability Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 18:45, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Article about former footballer which comprehensively fails WP:GNG. Jogurney (talk) 14:37, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
