Moni Tongaʻuiha

Player does not qualify for WP:NRU (Major League Rugby is not a notable league under WP:NRU), only brief mentions and news of him signing for sides so does not qualify for WP:GNG either. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 20:18, 8 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep Seems to me to meet WP:GNG, as sources are “substantial coverage”, viz. including articles about him and not brief mentions. Moonraker (talk) 07:15, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Don't believe any of the sources on the page or that I can find are 'substantial coverage', that are independent of the source/tournament. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 10:51, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , as has been discussed here can you show which of the sources in the article provide enough significant coverage for it to pass WP:GNG or if there are other sources that you believe enough to allow it to pass WP:GNG can you provide them. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 15:37, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment Have found a previous AfD under a previous name can be found here. Also pinging and  who were involved in that discussion. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 18:00, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Not seeing anything new from my previous nomination under Moni Tongauiha or Tesimoni Tangauiha; just WP:PRIMARY or WP:ROUTINE. I also explained why DJCoilRugby is good for WP:V, but limited for WP:N, at Articles for deletion/Michael Reid (rugby union) unless the article is more than just covering a transaction. The Americas Rugby News articles unfortunately do not have significant depth in any cite; all just list-based mentions with maybe two sentences added. You can put me in the delete camp right now, but based on his career trajectory, this player does seem to be on the way up and is possibly a WP:TOOSOON situation.

 * Delete - I would have to agree with Yosemiter that the sources establishing notability do not appear to exist (at least, not yet) Spiderone  11:33, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Similar to the other MLR articles, there isn't a single secondary independent reliable source anywhere near this article. SportingFlyer  T · C  13:29, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
