Question. Article says he was called up for the senior national team but no details are given. Do we know if he played or not? No Great Shaker (talk) 15:10, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @No Great Shaker: according to Soccerway, he was called up 5 times but never featured. Nehme₁₄₉₉ 15:30, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep white technically fails NFOOTBALL, five appearances on the bench as the backup keeper in World Cup Qualifiers (as recently as 10 days ago) makes him arguably one of the best keepers in the country. Not surprising then that there's no end of media coverage about him! Perhaps someone would like to wade through the 13,000 Google hits I'm getting. I don't know how people are doing BEFORE when nominating and voting on these Iranian players, but I don't feel that enough detail and time is being spent on each player.

13k hits: all passing mentions. Doesn't pass GNG. Nehme₁₄₉₉ 11:08, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
