Another poorly sourced BLP with no WP:SIGCOV demonstrated. The best that I can find are Abidjan 1 and Abidjan 2, both passing mentions in Ivorian media. The Feyenoord mentioned is the one in Ghana, not the Dutch team. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 12:02, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

- Keep. I fixed the link to the Voice of America article, which seems pretty good. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 12:37, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for restoring it. I'm not going to withdraw this AfD yet as I don't think that it's enough on its own for a GNG pass. The coverage is Fifteen-year-old Francis Joe Mensah is one of the academy's best players, a lightning-quick, technically solid, left back, who can also play left wing. He predicts he will make it in Europe. He says he has no fear of failure. followed by a quote from the subject. I also think WP:YOUNGATH might apply given the age of the subject at the time (the coverage does not seem to be substantial and prolonged). I'd be interested to know what others think.

- Delete - no evidence of notability. One source on its own not enough. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 12:49, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

- Delete—There's nothing here. Played for an academy and then disappeared. No WP:SIGCOV shown at all. Anwegmann (talk) 21:44, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: Subject does not meet the WP:GNG due to a lack of WP:SIGCOV. The Voice of America article fails WP:YOUNGATH and I don't see anything else besides primary sources and passing mentions. Let'srun (talk) 21:15, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
