Fails WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG. Only found a blog which says he has played international football for Bhutan but no match reports saying so. ArsenalFan700 (talk) 14:43, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- per nom. He has not received sufficient coverage to meet WP:GNG and unless his international appearances can be reliably sourced, the article fails WP:NSPORT as well. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:57, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]Delete - fails WP:GNG, also appears to fail WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 16:04, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - new research below shows he is an international footballer, meets WP:NFOOTBALL on that basis. Article needs improving/updating. GiantSnowman 12:21, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominators Comment: I just did some more in-depth research and I found this. It indicated that the Chencho being described here is the one who played for Royal Wahingdoh F.C. and that he has played for the Bhutan national football team in 2008. I am just wondering though if this is a reliable source or not? If it is then I am willing to withdraw this AfD. From the looks of it I am guessing it is. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 16:15, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - He has played multiple times for Bhutan as per NFT and has even managed to score as reported here. He was also a used sub in this game, apparently playing as both striker and goalkeeper in the tournament. In addition, if you go to the pre-qualifying tab and click on the relevant match report icons, you can see he played as striker in both legs against Afghanistan at this link. I see no reason to doubt Kuensel, it is the national news service for Bhutan, and the indepth interview with the player seems perfectly reliable in terms of helpling establish GNG beyond his international record. Easily passes WP:NFOOTY, this article needs to be improved rather than deleted. Fenix down (talk) 17:06, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The thing about the goal.com reports is that there is more than 1 Chencho for Bhutan. We do not know which one he is. The NFT report works perfectly. Easily a keep. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 19:42, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - then as the nom, can I suggest the AfD is withdrawn? Fenix down (talk) 12:59, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
