Article about semi-pro/amateur journeyman footballer which doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG. Fataki has never played football at a high-level; stints in the Belgian Second Division and Albanian Kategoria Superiore represent the "peaks" of his career. As a journeyman who has played for many clubs throughout Europe and Africa, there is a lot of routine coverage available (almost all of it consisting of match reports and transfer news/speculation). However, I cannot locate in-depth coverage in reliable sources that is independent of the subject; the best source I could find is an ADIAC transfer news piece that contains a paragraph recap of his career. Unfortunately, none of the sources included in the article now or that I found in my WP:BEFORE search could be paired with it to satisfy the GNG. References 1-13 are either not independent (his employers Balma SC, MDA Foot, FC Rouen), not reliable (Walfoot, Footpy) or routine (Le Foot, Gazeta Panorama x2, ADIAC, Gazeta Gerçek). External links 1, 2, 4 and 5 are not independent (Balma SC and FC Rouen again), not reliable (Walfoot again) or are interviews that contain almost zero secondary coverage (Actufoot). External link 3 (Paris-Normandie) is an interview with some secondary coverage but no byline. It mentions his performance in a trial friendly match (hardly notable) and the briefest of mentions of his footballing origins. I found plenty of other match reports, transfer news and interviews (Sud-Ouest, Footdrc.com) that are not SIGCOV, so I just can't see how this article meets our guidelines. If we think this sort of low-quality coverage is sufficient, the result will be that almost every semi-pro or amateur footballer with a lengthy or journeyman career can have an article.

Delete - comprehensive source assessment done by the nominator seems accurate to me Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 10:09, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
