Fails WP:GNG. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 18:51, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Football,  and Oceania. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 18:51, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 19:25, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 21:01, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - This same user has nominated every Tuvulu footballer for deletion (and a few other mostly Oceania countries). The fact is, the reason we can’t find coverage is that the only major news outlet, Fenui News, is not online (it has a Facebook page but that page only gives summaries). A proper WP:BEFORE would be to go to Tuvalu’s museums, libraries, etc. If there is still no coverage there, then fine, delete.  But unless you did such research you are literally wiping out a nation’s sporting history just because they don’t have good internet access, which is unacceptable. 172.58.110.253 (talk) 06:25, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Please stop lying. I have not nominated "every" article. This article fails WP:GNG and should be deleted. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 15:48, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom - fails WP:GNG. Even if one source were available, that wouldn't be enough anyway ("multiple independent sources" are requested). --Angelo (talk) 22:50, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: No independent sourcing of this sub-stub. No evidence of notability.  No suggestion that his level of play meets any extant notability criteria.  And no need of hyperbole-choked hysteria from SPAs who haven't made a single substantive edit to Wikipedia.  A proper WP:BEFORE involves going to a country's museums and libraries?  Is the SPA deliberately trying to insult our intelligence?   Ravenswing      00:49, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
