Although this article technically satisfies the NSPORTS guideline (we can verify that this person played in one FIFA "A" international friendly against Namibia in 2002), there is no additional information available and it obviously fails the GNG. In the two years this article has existed no editors have added any information, and after fairly extensive searches I was unable to find any additional information about this person (including date of birth, club career, etc). I'm asking that we apply some common sense where an article technically passes a notability guideline (NSPORTS), but cannot be a useful article because there are insufficient sources.

Delete per nom - common sense should be adopted when dealing with notability, and this individual, other than less than 90 minutes in an international match nearly a decade ago, has no claim to it. Giant Snowman 09:26, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. If we're going to start using common sense then let's use it properly, for example on players who have appeared in one or two League Two matches, rather than delete articles on players who have represented their countries. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:35, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- I understand your point, but the difference here is that this article will never have more content that its current state unless this person eventually gets more (some) coverage in RS. Why not recreate when and if that happens. Jogurney (talk) 19:31, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - In what way is that a difference? Phil Bridger (talk) 19:53, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - I suspect most articles about people who appeared in one or two League Two matches have more RS available (so we know what clubs they played for, when and where they were born, etc). We have nothing like that for Cosmos Munegabe. Jogurney (talk) 19:59, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree with the common sense idea. There is no future notability to be expected. If it occurs; recreate. Stormbay (talk) 21:50, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - not only is it common sense, but WP:NSPORT specifically says that BLP's also have to meet the general notability guideline. This article clearly does not. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:18, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
