 * Weak Keep. I'm not particularly well-versed in WP:NFOOTBALL but, for all intents and purposes, the SEA Games isn't exactly a "non-international" competition (plus the fact that he contributed two goals is something that makes me think twice before considering this article for deletion). --- Tito Pao (talk) 07:34, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree that this person fails the notability guidelines for footballers. However, the subject of the article has received significant coverage in reliable third party sources and meets the general notability guidelines and the notability guidelines for biographies.

 * Keep: Sources from Alpha_Quadrant check out for me to confirm subject passes WP:GNG. --LauraHale (talk) 04:59, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:NFOOTBALL, I think we all agree on that. But I also think that he fails WP:GNG, as well. The GNG calls for "significant coverage", yet Alpha Quadrant's link is to a few news articles where Joshua Beloya is mentioned once in passing. None of the articles addressed the subject in depth or gave any biographical information – they were articles about a match with a line like "Beloya scored in the 23rd minute" and then they don't mention him again. As such, I don't believe it amounts to significant coverage. Jenks24 (talk) 05:18, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per Alpha's rationale.--Milowent • hasspoken 06:02, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: On the contrary, Alpha's rationale leaves out a couple of important elements. First off, the GNG doesn't merely require that the subject be mentioned in reliable sources; it requires that the subject be discussed in "significant detail."  None of the sources presented in Alpha's Google list do so.  Further, WP:ROUTINE explicitly debars the type of routine sports coverage, such as match recaps, that comprise these hits.

 * Weak Keep. This source and this source seem to indicate that some notability exists here, and both seem to go beyond routine coverage of a routine player. I would understand a delete here, but I think it's borderline leaning keep. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 14:19, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
