The result was keep. Sort of weak keep, but given the discrepancy in the sources we'll default to keep for now. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 22:36, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:ATH but may pass under WP:GNG as called up for Pakistani national team (but hasn't played as far as I can see) but thought it was worth a debate Steve-Ho (talk) 19:46, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Definitely fails WP:ATHLETE and merely being called up to the national squad without playing doesn't really count for anything. Only possible keeper would be general coverage in sources. There seem to be two sources listed in the refs, so I guess extremely weak keep -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:38, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep through WP:GNG - more sources include this, this and this. Also, a google search of "Adam Karim Pakistan" brings up a few YouTube videos which claims that Docker/Karim (he uses the former for club football, the latter for international) played for Pakistan against Iraq in October 2007.

- Keep passes WP:GNG. Though I'm a little confused about this Iraq game: the FIFA report, which ought to be definitive, has him on the bench but not coming off it (assuming he is the player called Adam Luke Karim), but this piece on the UEFA site has him making his debut and quoted as saying he thought he did OK... cheers, Struway2 (talk) 21:23, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
