PROD contested by the article creator on the basis that this player "is expected to join, and receive more game time at, a notable European club" and that "I am requesting that the article not be deleted until after the current transfer window, should Wang fail to make a significant transfer". This is pure WP:CRYSTAL. Wang already made a move (to Sporting Lisbon B) and never even made the match day squad, as confirmed by this article about it. As it stands this is another young prospect who currently fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL and there is no indication he will be notable any time soon. Giant Snowman 08:40, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - if the only reason for keeping the article is what he might do in the future, then that says it all. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Hugsyrup (talk) 13:14, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the explanation and information regarding why the article should be deleted - after reading WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL more closely, I must admit that I cannot justify the continuation of the article. Domersr (talk) 13:22, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Domersr: perhaps you would be willing to request speedy deletion under WP:CSDG7? Giant Snowman 14:48, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - if and when becomes more notable - re add. Not ready now MaskedSinger (talk) 18:34, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
