Player has never played in professional football The Banner talk 00:33, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Article subject has played international football at 2011 Pacific Games. This is a FIFA recognised competition and served as part of the OFC qualification process for the 2014 World Cup. As such, player fulfills WP:NFOOTY and is thus considered notable. The requirement for international appearances is noted before the requirement for professional league appearences and it is clear from the guideline that notability is generally agreed on an "either / or" basis, the player does not have to fulfill both.

Keep - in fact, he doesn't even have to have played in the 2011 Pacific Games. He's played for his country; that's automatically enough. The Pacific Games is just a bonus on top of that. Lukeno94 (talk) 14:41, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
