Redirect to List of Fiji international footballers. One appearance for the Fiji national football team. No indication of notability. Unable to find sufficient in-depth coverage from third-party sources, failing WP:GNG. JTtheOG (talk) 05:35, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per nom. One decent source is not enough. Giant Snowman 12:31, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. The sources added by IdiotSavant are a good start but not enough currently. The Fiji Sun articles are interviews and the Fiji Village piece is a very short mention. I'm unable to find more significant coverage online or in Fijian news sources. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 18:53, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Per IdiotSavant. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 17:40, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Can you explain how interviews and a two-sentence mention add up to significant coverage? MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 16:28, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It may be helpful to review the actual language of WP:SIGCOV. Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. The Fiji Village article may be short, but the article subject is definitely its main topic -- he's right there in the headline -- which by the plain language of the guideline is more than enough to qualify as significant. -- Visviva (talk) 22:02, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, passes GNG with sources added.--Ortizesp (talk) 16:18, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. The first Fiji Sun source is a local interview from when he was a teenager and so fails YOUNGATH. The second has some decent details but is mostly an interview. The Fiji Village piece is an utterly routine transactional report. I don't see GNG or even SPORTSBASIC being met. JoelleJay (talk) 22:52, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Redirect per nom, the sources just don't seem like enough for SIGCOV to me. AryKun (talk) 07:18, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:GNG. I feel that the guidelines are being twisted out of shape a bit here. As discussed more fully in my sub-reply above, the Fiji Village article, of which he is the main topic, falls well within the actual requirements of SIGCOV, as set forth in that guideline. So too do both of the Fiji Sun articles, which despite being partially interviews also contain a nontrivial amount of biographical reporting by a journalist independent of the subject. So we have three sources of nontrivial coverage, which is enough to satisfy even the more stringent interpretations of the GNG. As to the high-school interview in particular, WP:YOUNGATH is a notability criterion for athletes in high school and below (and on its face reads as a sensible precaution to protect the privacy of minors). It is not a source evaluation criterion, and has no bearing on people who are no longer of high school age. -- Visviva (talk) 22:02, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per the nomination is the ideal solution here. No sufficient coverage for an article. scope_creep^Talk 22:06, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per nom and others to List of Fiji international footballers, where the subject is mentioned. CycloneYoris ^talk! 12:33, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
