Keep - Does actually pass NFOOTY, 14 apps (+ cup apps) for Tuen Mun SA in the Hong Kong First Division League (listed at WP:FPL; until 2014) in 2011–12 - per Soccerway. R96Skinner (talk) 01:24, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Passes WP:NFOOTBALL. Has played in the Hong Kong Premier League. Simione001 (talk) 01:56, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG and therefore fails WP:FOOTY. WP:FOOTY is guidance given as part of Wikipedia:Notability (sports) which states "the subjects of standalone articles should meet the General Notability Guideline. The guideline on this page provides bright-line guidance to enable editors to determine quickly if a subject is likely to meet the General Notability Guideline." WP:FOOTY is therefore merely guidance as to whether a subject is likely to pass WP:GNG. In this case the guidance fails because there isn't signifiant coverage in reliable sources. A biography needs more than statistical tables as a source.----Pontificalibus 06:10, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - meets WP:NFOOTBALL; needs improving, not deleting. Giant Snowman 09:47, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – No sources, no article. We cannot meet WP:V, WP:NOR, WP:BLP, and WP:NOT when the only available sources are primary statistics databases. This article has no secondary sources at all, and I can't find any online. Without sources, we end up with a one-line article such as the one we have now. If sources are found, the article can always be recreated. Until then, having this article violates like every content policy we have. – Levivich 01:44, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The only thing I feel I should add to Levivich’s incontrovertible reasoning is that the reasoning is even stronger in the case of a BLP.—Mkativerata (talk) 03:16, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, why has this even come to afd (unless (cue ominous music) its a concerted effort to "defooty" wikipedia:)), at the very least this can be a redirect to Marconi Stallions FC, as player name may be a wikireader search term. Coolabahapple (talk) 02:18, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete there is no indepth coverage in independent secondary sources. The NFOOTY guidelines do not trump GNG and if the coverage can't be found there is no reason to keep the article. The criteria NFOOTY are so easy to pass that no one bothers to even add in depth coverage so maybe it is time to remind editors that GNG matters! --Dom from Paris (talk) 01:04, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Why should that be at the expense of this article? Simione001 (talk) 01:51, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It should be applied to all articles. This one doesn't meet the criteria, please don't hesitate to find the sources that are needed. Just because it wasn't applied to other articles doesn't mean it shouldn't here as per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Dom from Paris (talk) 06:27, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, a search for sources reveals only routine coverage, mostly on statistical websites. No evidence that this player meets the WP:GNG. WP:NFOOTY, as part of WP:NSPORT does not trump GNG, as confirmed by the community in this discussion. Harrias ^talk 07:38, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
