Fails WP:GNG - hasn't been the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources. Also fails WP:NSPORTS, hasn't played in a tier 1 international match. Northern Mariana Islands are not FIFA-affiliated, therefore can't play tier 1 international matches. Hack (talk) 06:35, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - has played senior international football for a sovereign nation on multiple occasions as noted here. His last three appearances have been for his country in official competition matches oragnised by the AFC against the senior international teams of Palestine, Bangladesh and Nepal as noted here. Player fundamentally fulfills the spirit of NFOOTY having appeared at the highest level possible on nine separate occasions in senior international competitions organised by the official continental association and regional association.

Delete - Has not participated in a tier-1 international match as the Northern Mariana Islands are a non FIFA-affiliated nation. Fails WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG. Simione001 (talk) 22:51, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Passes WP:NFOOTY as he has appeared in major AFC matches. Smartyllama (talk) 23:56, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. The National-Football-Teams links confirms he has played in zero official FIFA matches - @Fenix down and Smartyllama: you might wish to reconsider. Giant Snowman 11:44, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no evidence he meets GNG. Eldumpo (talk) 06:53, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - has not played in any FIFA-recognised international friendlies, failing WP:NFOOTY. No significant media coverage to pass WP:GNG either. --Jimbo^[online] 15:40, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - this is a bit of a 'cut-off' question: at the moment, the cut-off for presumed notability for those who don't make WP:GNG is at FIFA, not confederation, membership. We may chose to have a discussion to shift the notability cut-off but given that it is useful to have one, I'm happy to enforce that in this case. --Super Nintendo Chalmers (talk) 09:07, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
