Notability concerns. The only piece of in-depth coverage I could find was this Post Today column (in Thai). Appears to me that the subject's main claim to fame is being sort of a male equivalent of celebutante. He is the son of an ambassador, and has won a youth journalist competition, but these do not establish notability. I could not verify the claims in the article that he is exceptionally famous for freestyle football either. Only 460 Google hits for his name Thai. Paul_012 (talk) 12:28, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom. There is no indication that this article passes WP:GNG, or that the subject has played in a fully professional league, meaning it fails WP:NSPORT. Sir Sputnik (talk) 21:02, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 17:40, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
