No indication of notability, and no sources providing significant coverage can be found online. Previously blpproded, then depreodded when refs that were removed were readded. Refs have since been removed (no clue why). Removed refs were passing mentions/databases. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 00:31, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

- Delete The article fails WP:GNG and as per the nomination, there are virtually no mentions of this guy anywhere. IncompA 03:04, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep That is far from the truth and is very false IncompA because he is Algerian and played football professionaly in algeria were there first language is arabic that means there are mentions about in arabic. In fact there is many articles of walid belguerfi in arabic do your research before you nominated for deletion and also by the way I also added all the references back if that's what you wanted.

- Comment Okay, rather what I should have said was "there are virtually no mentions of this guy on the English internet". Just because you claim he's a notable figure in the Arabic world, which appears to be false, because every mention of him is a passing mention, doesn't mean he deserves an article in the English Wikipedia.
- IncompA 04:28, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- How can you say every mention of him is passing? Have you reviewed every single Algerian source on him? SportingFlyer T·C 09:37, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete DZfootball is about the only site I find and it's match recaps. Rest of what's given in the article are not in RS. Even in French sources, they are only player databases. Oaktree b (talk) 14:17, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
keepTheir is also alot of French mentions of him. On wikepidia there are so many footballers with pages like this one why can't you delete their ones. Also Walid Belguerfi is mentioned in like 9 different wikepidia pages and this page has been up for more than a decade. There is no valid reason why this wikepidia page should be deleted.
keepTheir is also Competition dz that is French and mentions him and does match recaps. so that is not true its false their is not only DZfootball their is Competition DZ do better in your research. David3829128 03:41, 4 August 2023 (UTC).
keeplook at this source for example https://web.archive.org/web/20120627113118/http://www.cabba.org:80/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D8%AE%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B1/%D8%A3%D8%AE%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%87%D9%84%D9%8A/441-%D8%A8%D9%84%D9%82%D8%B1%D9%81%D9%8A-%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%82-%D8%B1%D8%B3%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A7-%D9%81%D9%8A-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%81%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%82.html
- it is reliable because its is the clubs official webiste and it mentions his name in the title and the article is all about his contract extension and it is only about him. It is also independent and provides coverage. David3829128 15:17, 4 August 2023 (UTC).
- Delete considerably poor article and the references are useless Michael H (talk) 16:32, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
keepit is not poor because it is reliable because its the official webiste and its not useless because it shows us he renewed his contract. which is a good reference. David3829128 17:36, 4 August 2023 (UTC).

keep if you want to find mentions that are notable and reliable their are calameo articles which are like newspapers. on google search up belguerfi calameo and it will give you so many different articles and pieces of information. For example https://www.calameo.com/read/000061525361962197f76
this is only one of them I can send many more if you want. by the way you when you tap on the link you need to tap on the magnifying glass and search belguerfi. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IonBOTfz10 (talk • contribs) 12:47, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
