Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cédric Boussoughou
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
