This player has yet to play competitive 1st team games — Preceding unsigned comment added by Supergunner08 (talk • contribs)
 * Keep - the article itself disagrees with your claim, saying "in May 2008 he made his first team debut in a friendly in Bangkok", something backed up by this. The fact that it was a friendly rather than a league game is irrelevant. Ironholds (talk) 13:23, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Hasn't played in a competitive first-team game for his club. Spiderone  15:41, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG. GiantSnowman 15:43, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - playing in friendlies has never been considered sufficient to pass WP:ATHLETE, as by their nature they are non-competitive and teams field all sorts of youths, triallists and non-contract players. Harry Redknapp once dragged a fan who'd been abusing him out of the stands at a friendly, kitted him up, and sent him out onto the pitch telling him to see if he could do any better! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:45, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Seriously? I thought that was something made up by the writers of Dream Team in, I think, 2006. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) | (talk to me) | (What I've done)  22:37, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - Hasn't played a competitive first-team game. Can be recreated if or when he does so. Eddie6705 (talk) 16:49, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as he has not played at a fully-professional level of football, failing WP:ATH. --Jimbo[online] 20:33, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable football player. --Carioca (talk) 21:29, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Appearing in a friendly does not confer notability. If he appears for Manchester City - unlikely, given who they've alredy got - then it can be recreated. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) | (talk to me) | (What I've done)  22:37, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. No prejudice to a recreation if and when he can pass WP:ATHLETE.  Note to above keep !vote, per WP:ATHLETE, the fact that it was a friendly versus a pro game actually is, indeed, completely relevant. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 23:05, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Let's see some coverage as a professional athlete. NTK (talk) 20:11, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per nom. GauchoDude (talk) 03:47, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
