Ng Sai Yung

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Amateur footballer who has made a couple of appearances for a team which plays at the 16th level of the English football league system so fails WP:NFOOTY by an absolute mile. Chinese coverage included in the article does not seem significant or in-depth (judging from Google translated versions of articles) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:08, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 17:31, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:NOTNEWS and WP:NFOOTBALL. I think he passes WP:GNG, with coverage in Canada [1] and Hong Kong [2], it's just that both these articles only cover his participation in the FA Cup Final rematch. He definitely fails NFOOTBALL since, according to his profile on the team website [3], he hasn't even played a Surrey South Eastern Combination Junior Division Four league match. It looks like he's plays as the team's backup goalkeeper [4]. Funny ^Pika! 23:22, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - as a footballer he fails WP:NFOOTBALL, and his only claim for notability fails WP:BLP1E. Mentoz86 (talk) 21:04, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. ~~He played in the 1872 FA cup? I don't think so.~~ Ah, the rematch. Oh well, fails GNG anyway. Dengero (talk) 10:16, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. 晴報, 二字頭, and Ming Pao (see cited sources in article) are all mainstream publications in Hong Kong. I've read through the sources and I can confirm they all contain in-depth biographical information about Ng Sai Yung. (In case you wonder - 二字頭 is a primarily a paper publication, who have moved to Facebook as their primary online presence.) Given the presence of three in-depth stories covering the subject in mainstream media, the "significant coverage in reliable sources" criterion of WP:GNG is satisfied, and therefore the article should be kept independently of Ng's standing in the football world.
