Bonaventure Kalou[edit]

Player for a local Dutch soccer team. Notability not established. Possibly transwiki to Dutch wikipedia. Radiant! 13:06, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)

The local Dutch soccer team is Feyenoord. Keep. Kappa 13:39, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I don't care for football, but the team is obviously a major one, and I believe there is some kind of consensus here that professional sportspeople are inherently notable, as uninteresting as most of them are. / u p p l a n d 13:48, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Am Dutch. Don't care much for it either, but Feyenoord is indeed a notable club, so its players may have articles here as well. Keep. Mgm|^(talk) 13:57, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Do you know anything about football my friend? Feyenoord is hardly a non-notable local team. Trilobite (Talk) 15:18, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- I know Feyenoord is notable, I just wasn't sure about the individual players (hence the suggestion of moving to nl.wikipedia. on second thought, anything that's valid in any wikipedia, is probably valid in all of them). Radiant! 15:30, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. I consider any professional footballer encyclopedia-worthy. Xezbeth 16:38, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
Keep obviously. Grue 18:11, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Professional sports players are not inherently notable. Wile E. Heresiarch 07:21, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep, obviously - David Gerard 23:11, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
