Article has no reliable secondary sources to establish notability -- Explodicle (T/C) 18:24, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. I removed the prod tag from this because the article says that the subject played in the Premier Soccer League in South Africa, which, if confirmed, would confer slam dunk notability. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:29, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete I'm of the opinion that the WP:ATHLETE guideline is too lenient, and if we have to go to a lot of trouble just to confirm that he played professionally, then he's probably not really notable in a way that merits inclusion. Ray  Talk 22:02, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails both WP:ATHLETE (as he hasn't "competed at the fully professional level of a sport") and WP:GNG (as he hasn't "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"). A Google search for "tongai dodo jomo cosmos" only brings up Wikipedia and mirror sites, so I don't think he ever played for them. GiantSnowman 13:07, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
