Deletion of Cédric Boussoughou

Comment: no significant media coverage and no senior international appearance, fails  and . He never played in the African Cup of Nations, thus he never represented his country IMO – and Phil Bridger, let reliable sources decide whether being named in a tournament squad and not playing is a valid notability claim. Are there any sources suggesting that the player became notable by that? No? Pity. Oh, also learn to respect a different opinion than yours without accusing others of "wikilawyering". Okay? Thank you. &ndash

Comment: The point that I made above about wikilawyering has been amply confirmed by the "delete" opinions given here. We are supposed to follow the spirit rather than the letter of guidelines. The spirit of the various special notability guidelines in or linked from  is that people who have verifiably reached a certain level in their field are regarded as notable. This player's level of achievement in football, having captained a national team to Olympic qualification, is way above that of players who have turned out for a match or two in Lega Pro Seconda Divisione or League Two and, on that basis, are considered notable without a squeak of objection

Comment: meets , ''Players who have represented their country in any officially sanctioned senior international competition'', even though he didn't play I would say he ''represented'' his country in the Africa Cup of Nations. I also agree with Phil Bridger's point about common sense - as a captain of his team he will compete in the Olympics in a couple of months unless something extraordinary happens
