Footballe who fails GNG and NFOOTY. No appearances in fully pro leagues. BlameRuiner (talk) 08:59, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

- Comment. I deprodded this on the grounds that the articles for both his club and its league claim they are professional, thus an NFOOTY pass. The league is listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues#Top level leagues which are not fully professional apparently on the evidence of this article which is a single player complaining that some players are not paid enough to live on. However, according to this article that situation has now changed and the claim is out of date. SpinningSpark 14:23, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
- That talks about an average salary. Is there any evidence of a minimum salary? Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 14:28, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
- I read that as each individual player is paid (at least) that averaged over a year, not the average of all players "ensuring that each player is paid an average salary of GHC 1,5000 a month."
- I read it the other way as in they are ensuring that the average of all players' salaries hits that value but that some will be above and some will be below. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 15:03, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
- Then why did they use the word "each" in that sentence? SpinningSpark 15:44, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
- Actually, it doesn't matter. The NDC are currently in opposition so this is not something the government has acually done. SpinningSpark 15:53, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'm surprised that I also initially missed that part. Since only trivial coverage seems to exist in the article, its fate should come down to whether anyone can find significant coverage on Adamu. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 18:09, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

- Delete - fails GNG and NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 16:36, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 11:06, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- Delete - searches of "Mohammed Adamu" and "Adamu Mohammed" in relation to the one club that he played for yield little in the way of coverage. Fails WP:GNG as far as I can see. Happy to change my vote if someone can ping me with sources that contradict this statement. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 11:31, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- Delete: I was unable to find any WP:SIGCOV for the subject, thus a standalone article in my opinion is not warranted. GauchoDude (talk) 13:34, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
