So, the final match of this tournament matters to at least 63,000 people. In addition, more than 11,000 followers of Khelang United and more than 75,000 followers of Satun on the club's Facebook also pay attention to this match. Source of Khelang United Source of Satun

 * For notability you need independent sourcing, the FA Thailand is not independent of this competition so that source has no importance for a deletion debate. Fram (talk) 08:15, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't understand what you mean about independent of the competition. This competition is organized by the Football Association of Thailand. There are many news agencies in Thailand that publish news about this competition. Football clubs that have the right to be promoted from this competition to Thai League 3 must have legal entity status and pass club licensing standards. In summary, the Thai Semi-pro League is part of the professional football league system of Thailand that is in tier 4. That's why I think the final of this tournament should have its own article. If you don't think so, feel free to delete it. I just want to develop the best encyclopedia of Thailand's professional football leagues. Gunkiet (talk) 17:03, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Gunkiet, your reasoning is good enough to support the notability of the Thailand Semi-pro League, but that doesn't necessarily mean an individual article for the 2023 final match is warranted. For that, it needs to be demonstrated that there's significant interest and coverage for the match itself, not just the entire competition. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:42, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment: Match reports in Naewna and INN News (these are from the same source) and Ballthai.com. Supersub Thailand had a few interview highlights presented as pre-match writeups. (Pinging GiantSnowman per request.) --Paul_012 (talk) 07:52, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete Followers on social media mean very little without independent coverage. I don't see what this match article does. As Paul_012 says above, there's no doubt that the league's page should exist, but that doesn't mean this match is notable. Anwegmann (talk) 23:01, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
