Unsourced BLP, the subject has never played in a fully professional league thus failing WP:NFOOTY. I do not see correspondence to WP:GNG either. Ymblanter (talk) 11:55, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - seems he was on the Cambodian national squad for AFF 2018 (a backup goalkeeper), but sat on the bench.[1][2][3]. Icewhiz (talk) 12:18, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, but this is U-23, and we would need the national team.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:24, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This is the national team AFAICT, not U-23. He didn't play though.Icewhiz (talk) 13:55, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you are right.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:49, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete A7 – Subject's league isn't fully professional per WP:FPL. The only reference is Soccerway; there are no references suggesting significant coverage from independent reliable secondary sources (no WP:42). There is no credible claim in this article of significance or importance, or anything that would approach meeting notability under WP:NFOOTY, WP:GNG or any other notability guideline. The article should be speedy deleted under WP:CSD#A7. Leviv ich 04:44, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- Fails WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG. Tropicanan (talk) 11:39, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Speedy deletion completely inappropriate @Levivich:. Giant Snowman 13:18, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
GiantSnowman, why? Leviv ich 17:12, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Levivich: - "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines." Giant Snowman 18:14, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks GS. (Why do you make me pull teeth, though? You just quoted back to me the same language I had in my initial comment–what's the point of your spending time to do that?) My question is: what "credible claim of significance or importance" does this article make? All it claims is he's a football player in a non-professional league. Why does, or should, this count as "significance" or "importance"? Leviv ich 18:32, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Because playing football can be a credible claim of significance/importance. A7 is used for really basic things like "X is a man" not "Y is a footballer playing in the top league in his country". Giant Snowman 20:47, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
