 * Keep - The top league in Hong Kong is professional with the following AFC document showing that the top team of each club in Hong Kong has at least 16 players under professional contract . His profile linked to from the article indicates he has been picking up cards playing in the top division, so appears to pass WP:ATHLETE. Camw (talk) 01:38, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * My computer for some reason locked up before I could closely examine the PDF, but I'd guess that if the PDF says that, we can probably add it to the list of fully professional leagues. Out of curiosity, does it address the professionality of other Asian leagues?  In which case, it could be quite valuable toward sourcing and fleshing out the WP:FOOTY list of fully professional leagues. matt91486 (talk) 16:49, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, for the majority of AFC overseen leagues it does confirm yes or no, there are some that are more vague that would be addressed by an updated spreadsheet but I haven't been able to find one. Camw (talk) 03:18, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - I have gone to Camw's link page which confirms the professional status of the Hong Kong league Eldumpo (talk) 22:30, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Plays in Hong Kong First Division League, a professional league according to Hong Kong football league system. I wonder why at least two members of WikiProject Football do not check notability in the internet and instead trying to delete dozens of articles like this in only some days. --Ilion2 (talk) 22:53, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Plays in fully-professional league. Nfitz (talk) 00:31, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
