Solomon Addy

The first source isn't good enough and the 2nd is a trivial mention. Playing at U20 level doesn't make him notable and the talents section is written like an advert Spiderone (talk) 16:29, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per below evidence that proves notability. Giant Snowman 09:15, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Meets WP:N [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], etc. Nfitz (talk) 03:45, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment half those links are broken and the others are trivial mentions Spiderone (talk) 08:13, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - They weren't broken when I put them there - such is the quality of Internet servers in Africa ... seems like WP:BIAS to me. Besides, your the one who is saying this is a fully-professional league ... Nfitz (talk) 02:07, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - has played a significant number of games in a notable African league, and also competed in the prestigious Toulon tournament Eldumpo (talk) 20:47, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment the Toulon Tournament is a youth tournament, thus not making him automatically eligible. --Jimbo^[online] 20:54, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The fact that the ruling body of the Ghana Premier League is known as the Professional League Board would imply that this is a professional league. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:51, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment OK I'll let you have that although "imply" worries me a bit, I added it to the list anyway Spiderone (talk) 08:20, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Plays for Ashanti Gold SC in the Ghana Premier League, the highest association football league in Ghana. Professional league as can be read in Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues. Played for Ghana national under-17 football team and Ghana national under-20 football team. Even in the 2007 Toulon Tournament squads, no word in 2007 Toulon Tournament that this is a tournament for under-20 teams. --Ilion2 (talk) 19:08, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment the 2007 version doesn't mention much to be honest and is need of expanding, however Toulon Tournament mentions it's a youth tournament - which states it isn't even recognised by a governing body (i.e. UEFA, FIFA etc). --Jimbo^[online] 11:48, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
