The result was no consensus. Both sides have made policy-based arguments and there is no clear prevailing view – rather, there is a good-faith disagreement regarding whether GNG is passed or not. Stifle (talk) 14:29, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, cursory glance at references on page already makes it seem like he passes GNG.--Ortizesp (talk) 19:45, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Per Ortizesp. @GiantSnowman:,, I found 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 among many many more African sources. Clearly was significant figure in local Ugandan football. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 20:36, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails significant coverage (GNG) Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 05:48, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as mentioned by other users, the provided coverage does not qualify as reliable independent WP:SIGCOV regarding the subject himself. --Angelo (talk) 15:10, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Das osmnezz has posted sources above showing subject passes GNG; some of the sources they post are questionable, but overall I think they show SIGCOV. I think Das osmnezz list also shows that research outside of the western media will show sources for notability. // Timothy :: talk 12:55, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I'm not understanding the issue here - there's more than enough GNG coverage in the links provided above. Sure, some might be lower quality than others - but the claims it's all routine or about the team appear to be false! Nfitz (talk) 16:57, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
