Fails WP:GNG and little to no SIGCOV. Alexeyevitch^(talk) 11:00, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

• Weak Keep. These two articles [https://www.odt.co.nz/sport/rugby/rugby-highlanders-newest-prop-has-big-past] [https://www.stuff.co.nz/manawatu-standard/sport/rugby-union/2368561/Te-Moana-is-back-with-the-Turbos] are definitely SIGCOV, these two [https://www.abc.net.au/news/2007-04-05/te-moana-to-make-reds-debut/2235338] [https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/provincial/5096761/David-Te-Moana-in-injury-setback-for-Manawatu] are a bit more routine but do name him in their headlines, and there are a dozen or so more trivial mentions in things like match reports. It's not a ton of coverage, but just about enough to pass WP:SPORTBASIC in my view. MCE89 (talk) 11:33, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

• Keep. Not all relevant/reliable sources are online. Via EBSCO I found, for example, the following articles:

:* MacSmith, James (5 February 2006). "Making a big impression", The Sun-Herald (Sydney)

:* Hills, Murray (18 February 2006). "Young prop David now less of a Goliath ", Taranaki Daily News

:* Lampp, Peter (26 July 2006). "Perth prop seeks Manawatu place", Manawatu Standard

:* Millmow, Jonathan (11 August 2006). "'Big Dog' learning new tricks", The Dominion Post

:* Morton, Jim (5 April 2007). "RU: Big Dog howling at Super 14 recall", AAP Australian Sports News Wire

:* Lampp, Peter (17 October 2007). "Big Dog puts health, Turbos ahead of Reds", Manawatu Standard

:* "Big Dog on tight leash at Wellington", Manawatu Standard, 17 July 2010

:* Lampp, Peter (23 November 2010). "Te Moana set for return. Lack of game time and family life sway prop", Manawatu Standard

:Note that I've only listed substantive articles; there are many more articles with more or less relevant info about the player, varying from interviews with him to match reports or team namings. Ruggalicious (talk) 13:35, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

• Keep as per Ruggalicious, I found heaps of sources when I searched on ProQuest, including some that are quite thorough SIGCOV. David Palmer//cloventt ^(talk) 08:35, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
