 * Keep. Another cookie-cutter nomination with no evidence of WP:BEFORE. In the future, please confirm that you have searched for sources and explain why obvious sources should be dismissed. In this case, there's sigcov in https://www.scmp.com/sport/hong-kong/article/3095795/hong-kong-womens-footballer-wai-yuen-ting-leaves-albanian-champions, https://www.scmp.com/sport/hong-kong/article/3091299/hong-kong-womens-footballer-wai-yuen-ting-step-closer-uefa, https://www.scmp.com/sport/hong-kong/article/3093130/hong-kong-footballer-wai-yuen-ting-becomes-first-hongkonger-ever, https://exit.al/en/2020/08/04/star-player-in-albanian-womens-football-team-to-return-home-to-hong-kong/, https://www.asianewsday.com/brave-hong-kong-football-star-wai-yuen-ting-gets-her-baptism-of-fire-playing-in-albania/, etc. And I didn't even try searching in Chinese. pburka (talk) 18:47, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment. Those are all transfer stories and match reports which are routine coverage. Dougal18 (talk) 14:31, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Those are far more than routine coverage. One of the articles calls her a "history-making Hong Kong footballer". They all provide significant coverage which address the subject in depth. pburka (talk) 14:37, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Being the first Hongkonger to win a football championship in Europe (Albania) is no claim to notability. What happens on the pitch is irrelevant following the scrapping of FOOTBALL. Dougal18 (talk) 15:25, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * What happens on the pitch certainly is irrelevant. But when the "star player" (per Albanian news sources) generates press coverage for her on-pitch achievements it becomes relevant per WP:GNG. Routine coverage is a few sentences reporting scores and transfers. These are well beyond routine. pburka (talk) 16:35, 19 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep - Per Pburka. Besides the sources they found, I found 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 among many many more sources from many different Chinese news outlets as well as Albanian and English ones. She is clearly significant figure in Hong Kong football. I look at the other Sports WikiProjects (or any WikiProject) and they don't nearly have an article deleted per day, let alone 20. By the time I finish writing this, another 20 will probably be deleted. Article needs improvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 16:16, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
