User:Hildanknight contested the PROD as "this young footballer has received extensive coverage in the Singapore press". However, if that is true, then surely we would have more than 1 reference in the article. Point: The article still fails WP:GNG and certainly fails WP:NFOOTY.

Still not sure what is meant by "quality" references. I would think coverage in electronic versions of print media is significant enough.Icedwater (talk) 05:59, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom. He has not received significant coverage in reliable sources and has not played in a fully pro league, meaning the article fails WP:GNG and WP:NSPORT. Sir Sputnik (talk) 03:16, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - albeit somewhat reluctantly. I believe there are more references which can be added to prove he has received "significant" coverage. I have to ask User:Sir Sputnik, however, what would we consider to be "reliable" sources? Would websites of state-sanctioned print media count, or print references to specific issues of newspapers? Yet I cannot do it all myself and it seems no one else is willing to. Indeed, in the time elapsed between this article's creation and its flagging for deletion, I doubt there have been "significant" changes. I agree, however, that it fails WP:NFOOTY, because Adam Swandi has not yet played in a professional league at adult level. Since it precludes youth tournaments, even at the international level, I suggest we take this article down for the time being. Question: Is it possible to save this in some hidden corner so that when he begins his professional career, I don't have to trawl the web for old links?

Perhaps Userfy or Incubate. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 08:11, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep The question is not how many references are currently in the article. The question is how many quality references are available but not in the article. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 07:42, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy for the time being... Until he actually passes WP:NFOOTY. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 08:11, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy per Bonkers the Clown. öBrambleberry of RiverClan 14:02, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Coverage is trivial at best. Giant Snowman 17:57, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete trivial mentions don't establish notability. SalHamton (talk) 22:35, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Userfy until WP:GNG or WP:NFOOTY is met. Mentoz86 (talk) 04:36, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
