Keep, has significant global coverage such as this, this, and this, even if most of it is for the famous 31-0 loss America Samoa faced.--Ortizesp (talk) 18:42, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Besides the sources on th page already and the sources Ortizesp found, I found 10 (which goes through his playing career abroad), 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, among many many more sources. He has also been interviewed on many podcasts and YouTube channels (18, 19, 20, 21 etc. Clearly significant figure in Pacific Islands and American Samoan football, the most-capped American Samoa national team player of all time, and one of few to ever leave American Samoa and play abroad (he played in Australia and USA).

Keep per sources above which show notability. Giant Snowman 22:45, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - there are clearly a significant number of reliable, independent sources establishing notability, and I am surprised the nominator did not bother to look for them. I've added some of those linked above into the article.--IdiotSavant (talk) 23:00, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above, per passing GNG, @Sportsfan 1234: What's with the half assed nomination? Did you bother doing a WP:BEFORE?? Das osmnezz presented how many cites here?? Some good some bad, but still, this tells me you're not doing AfD justice here, are you trying to waste peoples time? Govvy (talk) 09:06, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I thought his international record and his involvement in that 31–0 loss were already more than enough to fulfill WP:GNG, weren't they? Oltrepier (talk) 13:28, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the above comments; the article passes WP:GNG. InterstellarGamer12321 (talk | contribs) 17:08, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
