 * Keep (as the creator). Firstly, TOOSOON is not a formal guideline yet and it cannot bypass other notability guidelines, such as GNG. Secondly, the article meets WP:BASIC with three secondary, independent and reliable sources (including one which is entirely about the subject itself). Thirdly, according to the informal TOOSOON, it is considered as TOOSOON only when the content is not verifiable. However, this article passes BASIC and is verifiable with secondary sources, so it is not TOOSOON. (Reminder: As the creator of the article, I am just trying to explain why TOOSOON is not a valid reason for deletion.) Timothytyy (talk) 12:10, 2 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Draftify the subject seems to have some promise, but it unfortunately doesn't pass WP:NBAD at this point of time. Contrary to the claims above by the article creator, 4 out of 6 references in the article are primary in which none of them discuss the subject in detail and only lists match outcomes or passing mentions. The Olympic source is also only about the match outcomes. Only the very first source in the article discusses about the subject in depth (Sohu). So my take is to move this article to draft space for now. zoglophie 14:03, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Mostly agree. Draftifying is also a good way to provide more space for improvement. Timothytyy (talk) 23:36, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
