This is the first time I have used the XfD function so please let me know if I am making any mistakes. I have followed the instructions on the AFD page and in Twinkle.

The multiple issues banner was placed on the article over three months ago but no action has been taken to resolve the issues and so I must ask if the article should be removed.

The subject does not seem to meet the conditions set out on the WP:NSPORT page. Of the four sources cited, one is unobtainable, two are bare statistics only and the other is a short newspaper report which, to my mind, is what WP:SPORTBASIC classifies as "routine game coverage". I do not think any of the sources provide significant coverage as required by WP:NOTABILITY. I have done a Google search but I cannot see anything more than statistics, really, and I think some of the sites may not be reliable.

If there are other policies or guidelines I should be aware of, could someone please point them out? Thank you.

Comment - in terms of your use of the XfD function, this looks absolutely spot on to me. :) Will comment on notability at another time. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 13:57, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Spiderone. That is a relief! The instructions are very good, though, and the process is well explained. Sistorian (talk) 14:00, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - These sources shoe he is notable in Fiji: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], and [8], among many many other sources from Oceania Football, Oceania Football Center, Fiji Live, Fiji Sun, Fiji Times, Fiji Football, FBC News, and Fiji Village. In addition, he is a significant player in the Fijian league with an ongoing international capped career. I look at the other sports WikiProjects and they don't nearly have an article deleted per day, let alone 20. By the time I finish writing this, another twenty will probably be deleted. Article may need improvement, but definitely not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 16:18, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Interview, his wife is being interviewed about her husband, the story is by "FIJI FA MEDIA" and probably isn't independent of him, interview, 5+6 are from the Fiji FA, interview and finally an opinion piece. Dougal18 (talk) 12:39, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I only put those sources on here because people told me that putting too much is bad for some reason, but if you search him up with the terms Oceania Football, Oceania Football Center, Fiji Live, Fiji Sun, Fiji Times, Fiji Football, FBC News, and Fiji Village, you will find many sources about him that are not listed here.
