David Basa

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

It fails WP:GNG and the WP:NFOOTBALL, and also it is too short for an article here, not much of referencing either. FairyTailRocks (talk) 13:56, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep - definitely meets WP:NFOOTBALL as an international footballer (as the nominator was informed before the AFD!), and a quick web search shows he probably meets WP:GNG as well. Is the nominator aware of WP:BEFORE? GiantSnowman 13:58, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - but it doesn't have any reliable sources on what club is he playing, when you click the link on the page, you will see Page Not Found also I did little research 1, 2 but still I cannot find it's original club, and when you look Philippines national football team and Philippines national football team you will never find David Basa, also on what competition he joined when he played the national squad, is it a Friendly match or a tournament?

 * The fact he is not a current international player is irrelevant; notability is not temporary. GiantSnowman 15:04, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
 * After snooping around, it seems that the nominator removed any trace of Basa being in the Philippine squad for the 2010 AFF Suzuki Cup (see below). That's, at the very least, sneaky. – H T  D  17:54, 22 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep Evidently at least a one time Philipino international. StuartDouglas (talk) 16:09, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - references show he has played several times in full FIFa internationals. Passes WP:NFOOTY. Current club status is irrelevant, as is the length of article or references, which are reliable. Fenix down (talk) 16:13, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Note: AFAIK, Basa was a part of the Philippine squad that competed in the 2010 AFF Suzuki Cup (see 2010 AFF Suzuki Cup squads, which has been, amazingly, removed by the nominator after it was sitting pretty there for 3 years), which were full internationals by FIFA. I dunno if he actually played in the tournament, although this shows he played thrice. No Philippine leagues qualify as a professional league, so his national team appearance is the only way he can pass WP:NFOOTY. – H T  D  17:52, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. After snooping around here, it appears that Basa hasn't been substituted in to a match during the 2010 Suzuki Cup. For example, in the match vs. Singapore, if you click "Click here to view the match summary", it implies Basa wasn't subbed in. Same is true for the rest of the other Philippine matches. However, he played at 2010 AFF Suzuki Cup qualification, which are also full internationals; he subbed in the match vs. Laos, and was a starter in the match vs. Cambodia. Considering he played 2 full internationals, and as per the Tating Pasilan precedent, he's safe. – H T  D  18:18, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - Basa has played in at least a few FIFA "A" interationals, and it appears that there is a bit of local coverage (such as the article in The Varsitarian). I tried to flesh out the article a little bit, and even though it needs work, that's not a good reason to delete. Jogurney (talk) 21:32, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
