Fails WP:GNG. My WP:BEFORE search found only routine coverage of results and ranking positions. There may be good sources in other languages that I've failed to uncover. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 12:41, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be inclined toward keeping this, since a national champion is usually notable, and this person is an international regional champion (Asian Games). Maybe someone from WikiProject Thailand would have more luck finding sources using the subject's native-script name. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 11:45, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Searching with his snooker nickname, ตัวเล็ก สำโรง (Tualek Samrong), turns up a lot of results, mostly match reports and videos. Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL Cue Thong, Thailand's leading (and only) snooker magazine, has a profile page of him[1], as well as news coverage in several articles[2][3]. There might be offline coverage from earlier in his career that is more in-depth, but that will require digging through some library archives. --Paul_012 (talk) 09:43, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'll throw in a weak keep if it'll make closing any easier. The above articles provide a fair amount of coverage, and hint that more in-depth coverage probably exists. --Paul_012 (talk) 04:51, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
