There is well-argued support for a redirect to 2009 allegations of tapping up in English football, and I think discussion about this excellent idea should continue on the article's talk page; an AfD closure as "keep" does not prevent the redirect from being made if consensus exists to do so.
From an AfD closure point of view, what this discussion has established is that Gaël Kakuta should not be a redlink on Wikipedia. NAC— S Marshall Talk/ Cont 19:24, 14 September 2009 (UTC) reply
Youth football player who fails WP:ATHLETE. Any and all media attention is purely because of WP:ONEEVENT - his 'tapping up' by Chelsea (for those not in the know, he was asked to break his contract with one club to sign for another). This tapping up could have happened to any player - indeed, it has happened to other players, and they have had articles deleted, such as Nathan Porritt and Paul Pogba - and the fact that it happened to be Kakuta who was caught it no reason for him to have an article of his own.

Keep Are we supposed to think he is less notable than someone who makes one substitute appearance for a club in the Conference? 82.41.216.72 ( talk) 17:21, 8 September 2009 (UTC) reply
Create new article: Clearly Mr. Kakuta's actions have lead to a more widespread issue opening up with the likes of Manchester United and Manchester City now being reported by French clubs for tapping up youngsters. I suggest, since the only reason Gael's involvement here on Wikipedia is for this one issue and this said issue is growing in notability with more and more cases each day, that a new Wikipedia article is created to cover this new story in football. -- Phill talk Edits Review this GA review! 10:51, 9 September 2009 (UTC) reply
