Paulson Panapa[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Former footballer who has not played for a professional football club in a fully professional league and has not played international football either and so seems to fail WP:FOOTYN. Individual is now apparently president of the Tuvalu National Football Association however, the article offers no indication as to why this post is notable and most of the article seems to relate to his work with Dutch Foundation Stichting Dutch Support Tuvalu, which the article creator appears to be heavily involved in. Tuvalu have had next to no impact on the international scene, nor have their clubs had any impact at a continental level. I can see how this person and his role could become notable but at the moment this is a fully unreferenced biographical article that does not indicate notability.

Redirect to Tuvalu National Football Association - no evidence of independent notability, but a plausible search term. GiantSnowman 16:40, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Article is already 8 months on wikipedia, for which will remove it now must become. Noël Le Graët has a also Article, the Presidentv of French Football Federation, why Paulson will remove become? The Tuvalu National Football Association are recognise member of the FIFA! Because they are member of the OFC. There is much information on him wikipedia Article. --Klant01 (talk) 12:50, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment. This keep comment is unsuitable for the following reasons:

1. As stated in all the other deletion discussions you have responded to, please try to avoid using the "It's been here for ages so should stay argument". This is completely irrelevant and is specifically one argument that editors are asked to avoid here.

2. Noël Le Graët has an article because that is one supported by a number of significant thir party references clearly showing the subjects notability. Please also see this which is another argument not to use in deletion discussions. Simply because there is one article on a FA president, does not mean that there should be one on all of them, there is no evidence of independant notability of this person either as a footballer or administrator. As an entirely unreferenced biographical article, there are significant grounds for it to be speedily deleted as is.

3. The TNFA are not recognised by FIFA, only by OFC

4. Please also avoid the there's a lot of information in this article argument as it is again one that editors are asked to specifically avoid.

I would be happy to see a redirect to the National association as per GS.Fenix down (talk) 17:36, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
