The result was delete. A technical nfooty pass with a single appearance in the final minutes of the final game of a season. Despite appeals that this article should be kept on the grounds that he apparently has an ongoing career, this request is not grounded in any guideline, nor has any evidence been presented that he has an ongoing career. Most importantly though, despite request, not a single source providing significant coverage has been presented, let alone sufficient sources to satisfy GNG. There is absolutely nothing I this discussion to indicate the player has received anywhere near the level of coverage to be considered a notable individual.

Despite only just passing WP:NFOOTY, he fails WP:GNG. HawkAussie (talk) 23:47, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete Current consensus in numerous other recent footballer AfDs is that BLP with 1 appearance fails WP:NFOOTY too. Search on Baidu shows limited notability of Wei, centering mostly on his sole appearance, with no further information beyond that, backing the assetion that this fails WP:GNG. I would say that this BLP, under different circumstances, may have flourished instead. 2020 was a dark year in China, especially with COVID affecting all aspects of society there. – robertsky (talk) 08:05, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - this is a tricky one. He's only 22 so if he has an active career, I would say 'keep', however, if he's packed it all in already, then I would say 'delete' as 3 mins of football and no significant coverage would mean that a stand-alone article isn't needed.

Your ping didn't work for some reason. Do you have any sources saying he has left the club? GiantSnowman 14:06, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@GiantSnowman: Nope. I was looking through their official website in Chinese (there are more details in there than their EN version, which makes senses since their audience is primarily China). There is no mention of him leaving in their news section. However, he is not listed in the main team, substitutes, or even as staff in the U-19 and below lists ([1]). – robertsky (talk) 17:34, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Have we got evidence that he passes GNG? None has been presented yet. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 11:34, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: No clear consensus, but the idea that the player passes NFOOTY but no sources indicating GNG, is not particularly satisfactory. Difficult to ignore all the keep votes, but at the same time there is little weight behind them. Can any keep voter provide a single source providing significant coverage? That would be a sensible start to this discussion? The local consensus arguments being put forward are not aligned to any guidelines. Feels difficult to close this as anything other than delete if proper sources cannot be presented following a second week of discussion.
