Comment - although the claim that he gained 100 caps for Cameroon and played in the 1990 World Cup is a demonstrable lie, this article does claim that he played professionally in a range of countries and was capped. As yet, though, I haven't found anything else to confirm these claims..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:28, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Delete I believe this guy exists but my gut is telling me that his playing career is a complete lie. Less so on his coaching career, Govvy (talk) 22:20, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete he could be notable per WP:NFOOTY for playing for short-lived Crystal Palace Baltimore but it's currently basically an unsourced WP:BLP and needs to go. Also fails WP:GNG. SportingFlyer talk 09:15, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Article about football player who played indoor soccer in the US and appears to have played semi-pro football in Cameroon and El Salvador (and potentially elsewhere). The Examiner article indicates he was a member of the Cameroon national team in 1989, but RSSSF has a pretty good listing of Cameroon's "A" international match reports for 1989 and there is no mention of him (it wouldn't surprise me if he made the bench as a reserve goalkeeper though). If he actually played professionally in France or elsewhere, we ought to be able to see some mentions of that. Rather, it looks like he had a journeyman's career in semi-pro leagues and possibly was a top goalkeeper prospect when he was playing in the Cameroon top flight. The article is full of hyperbole and unsourced claims, and needs to be stubified if for some reason it is kept. Jogurney (talk) 18:15, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as per Jogurney's reasoning. 21.colinthompson (talk) 23:17, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
