Weak keep based on the 3 OFC Champions League appearances, IF there is a source for this. I should note that anyone looking for sources may come across an Aussie Rules player by the same name, who plays for Swan Districts Football Club, and received a lot of coverage for an incident where he was assaulted in an apparently unprovoked attack.

I dont believe there are any professional clubs taking part in the OFC Champions League.Simione001 (talk) 00:49, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

But it is a major continental competition. If it's the group stages and/or the knockout stages that he played in, to me at least, that confers some kind of notability; if it's the qualifiers, then definitely not. That's why I've said weak keep. This is yet another area in which our notability guidelines simply don't mention things, one way or another. :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 08:48, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It has to be a match between two professional clubs in a competitive match.Simione001 (talk) 10:03, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom. He has not played in a fully pro league (the OFC Champions League is hardly a fully pro competition) and has not received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:39, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails both WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. No disrespect, but I'd hardly say the Oceania Champions League is a "major" competition... Giant Snowman 10:42, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per GS. As much as I love Oceanian football consensus that the OFCCL is a "major" tournament could open the floodgates for lots of articles on non-international players from very minor amateur leagues. Fenix down (talk) 13:54, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the subject fails WP:GNG, as he hasn't received in-depth coverage in reliable sources. As noted before me, he also fails WP:GNG. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mentoz86 (talk • contribs) 20:57, 2 August 2013‎
