Delete - per nom. He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:GNG and WP:NSPORT. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:23, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - Seems to be the usual issue with people jumping in with the typical "not played in a fully professional league" without having done any real research other than looking on the FPL page where the Philippines is not discussed at all. Would be useful if rather than being over-keen to get their tuppence worth in, that some reasearch was performed. The UFL article is confusing as it describes it as a professional league, but also as one that started semi-professional. Would be useful if the opportunity could be taken to show it one way or the other. If it can be shown to be fully professional, given that the player has won a national cup in the Philippines, I would suggest that there was sufficient to warrant passing GNG, though maybe only in offline sources. However, at the moment it is unclear, so best to delete until GNG can be shown. Fenix down (talk) 11:05, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - "Typical"?? I think that just says that you yourself are not in the know therefore you deem this as "typical". It's not in the FPL page because the Philippines does not have a fully pro league! Heck, there isn't even a "recognized" league. If you look at the Philippines' page at FIFA.com here, you'd see there isn't even a link for "National League". No recognized league, let a lone a fully pro league, definitely does not satisfy WP:NFOOTBALL. You could also do all the searching you want, there would be very little, if any at all, that would even begin to satisfy WP:GNG. Banana Fingers (talk) 09:19, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
