• Keep. Perak FA and Kuala Lumpur FA are both teams in the Malaysian top flight which has, at all relevant times, been a fully professional league. The sources verify the basic article content. --Mkativerata (talk) 02:32, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - no evidence the Malaysian league is fully professional, meaning this guy fails WP:ATHLETE; he also fails WP:GNG and WP:NTEMP. GiantSnowman 22:54, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • It has been fully professional for almost 20 years. [1] [2] [3]. Indeed it is listed as such on the page you have linked to: under "M" for Malaysia. --Mkativerata (talk) 23:06, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep - my apologies, I didn't see it on first glance but it is indeed a fully-pro league, and he therefore meets WP:ATHLETE. GiantSnowman 23:14, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • No worries, judging by the sources it might not be fully pro for long... --Mkativerata (talk) 23:15, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
