 * Delete - He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:GNG and WP:NSPORT. Sir Sputnik (talk) 08:22, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I just did a Google News search for "lee seung woo" football - got 721 articles, and many of them feature the subject as the main focus of the article. I'd argue that that constitutes "significant coverage", and as such, passes WP:GNG. Just my 2 cents. Rockypedia (talk) 21:29, 18 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Oppose for deletion he is South Korea national under-17 football team international, he played in 2014 AFC U-16 Championship and was the top scorer of the competition and voted as best player also. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adnan n2 (talk • contribs) 10:52, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete per nomination. Passes notability guidelines. Ashbeckjonathan (talk) 00:33, 24 July 2015 (UTC) Ashbeckjonathan (talk) 20:09, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - per above comment by Adnan n2 DjlnDjln (talk) 12:55, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep and improve. There's a ton of reliable third-party references available for this subject; a five-second Google search is all it takes to see that.  Spend 5 more seconds to go to Google News and you see articles from as recently as 6 and 11 days ago; he's obviously achieved some level of notoriety already.  Even without having played pro anywhere yet, he's obviously the most well-known South Korean youth player ever; that alone probably would merit an article, and on top of that you have all the coverage of the controversy with Real Madrid and Barcelona fighting over him, all documented in reliable sources.  I don't see how anyone calls this a delete. Rockypedia (talk) 16:19, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
 * In the interest of full disclosure, I was contacted on my talk page and alerted of this discussion; I don't know if that's against the rules or not. Regardless, I don't even remember editing this article, but looking at the history, I see that I just made some minor grammar and spelling fixes, and took out some non-NPOV adjectives and such. I have no connection with the subject of this article, and haven't had any contact, prior to this, with anyone on either side of this debate. Rockypedia (talk) 16:19, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I did contact you, and I didn't know your opinion about this when I did, neither I knew you before , but it seems for me people didn't really knew there was such a discussion for deletion that's why I notifed few people randomly never had any contact with them before .

 * Keep. Clearly sufficient note has been taken of him. Similar in some ways to the Raheem Sterling situation where he received lots of coverage before he'd played a pro game - another good example where thinking beyond guidelines is a good idea. --Michig (talk) 06:53, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets WP:GNG with features in Marca and ESPN. I don't usually support football youth bios that don't meet WP:NFOOTY, mainly because I think the media has an unhealthy fixation on the sport and is willing to publish any type of rumour or hype. But I came across the article while searching for the "Korean Messi", hoping to find something on a female pro footballer and instead found tons of links about a 17 year old based in Spain. Digging further, it turns out that Lee was one of the six players that precipitated the current FIFA transfer embargo at Barcelona. Coupling that with his successful international youth career has me leaning support. And that is before looking for coverage in Korean sources under 이승우. Fuebaey (talk) 15:47, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per Fuebaey and Adnan n2 Passes WP:GNG.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 06:31, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment Someone provide further links for club career part. Just one link supports the whole category. NextGenSam619t@lk 12:16, 24 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep, not meeting WP:NFOOTY is irrelevant when the player meets the WP:GNG, as this one does. Lankiveil (speak to me) 05:45, 25 July 2015 (UTC).
