Amateur footballer who has made a couple of appearances for a team which plays at the 16th level of the English football league system so fails WP:NFOOTY by an absolute mile. Chinese coverage included in the article does not seem significant or in-depth (judging from Google translated versions of articles) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:08, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 17:31, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
Delete fails WP:NOTNEWS and WP:NFOOTBALL. I think he passes WP:GNG, with coverage in Canada [http://www.mingpaovan.com/htm/News/20121109/vsp3.htm?m=0] and Hong Kong [http://www.skypost.hk/column/%E6%B5%A9%E5%8D%97/007006001001/%E9%A6%99%E6%B8%AF%E4%BA%BA%E8%B8%A2%E8%8B%B1%E8%B6%B3%E6%9D%AF/49069], it's just that both these articles only cover his participation in the FA Cup Final rematch. He definitely fails NFOOTBALL since, according to his profile on the team website [http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/wanderersfc/s/players-coaches-40028.html?player_id=743540], he hasn't even played a Surrey South Eastern Combination Junior Division Four league match. It looks like he's plays as the team's backup goalkeeper [http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/wanderersfc/s/players-coaches-40028.html?player_id=361795]. Funny ^Pika! 23:22, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Delete - as a footballer he fails WP:NFOOTBALL, and his only claim for notability fails WP:BLP1E. Mentoz86 (talk) 21:04, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
Delete. ~~He played in the 1872 FA cup? I don't think so.~~ Ah, the rematch. Oh well, fails GNG anyway. Dengero (talk) 10:16, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
Keep. 晴報, 二字頭, and Ming Pao (see cited sources in article) are all mainstream publications in Hong Kong. I've read through the sources and I can confirm they all contain in-depth biographical information about Ng Sai Yung. (In case you wonder - 二字頭 is a primarily a paper publication, who have moved to Facebook as their primary online presence.) Given the presence of three in-depth stories covering the subject in mainstream media, the "significant coverage in reliable sources" criterion of WP:GNG is satisfied, and therefore the article should be kept independently of Ng's standing in the football world.

But what about WP:BLP1E? Mentoz86 (talk) 06:15, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
