Delete rationale from the previous afd remains valid. He has not played in a fully professional league or for the Vietnamese national team, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and there is no indication of significant coverage in reliable sources, thus failing WP:GNG as well. Sir Sputnik (talk) 22:11, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm? He has played for the national team. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:14, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What is insignificant or unreliable about the coverage in Tin Thể Thao cited in the article? Phil Bridger (talk) 06:43, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. One article is not evidence "significant" coverage. Giant Snowman 18:16, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And where have you looked for further coverage? Phil Bridger (talk) 20:18, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - played for his country and plentiful title mentions (not just text, Ngô Hoàng Thịnh in headline) in VN newspaper articles. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:12, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment according to the soccerway link, he only sat on the bench twice and didn't actually play for the senior national team. Also his club league is not fully professional so he fails WP:NFOOTBALL. C 679 09:47, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are the third editor in this discussion to claim that the subject fails WP:GNG, and the third not to explain what evidence that opinion is based on. This seems to happen in all footballer deletion discussions, and is becoming very tiresome. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:26, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of significant coverage which is required by WP:GNG. True it is difficult to check, but the burden is on the editor adding or restoring the material. I know the user signing as Phil Bridger is interested in countering systemic bias, but if no editors in this discussion can see or verify notability, it is impossible to keep the article. Since no editor can verify that the player is notable, it must default to delete. C 679 13:37, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
