The article is rather sizeable, but written from primary sources and with overblown claims.

First regarding the sources: not a single one is significant and independent. They are all primary sources, including a press release from Wuhan Zall; passing mentions, stats or 404s.
The article lists numerous trophies he won with Guangzhou Evergrande in 2011, 2012, 2013. He did not play a single league game during those years, and no games in the Chinese Super League. Only 2 cup games for Evergrande, as well as four substitutions in the second tier. It might be the case that China awards trophies to people who didn't participate for a single minute in those competitions (some other countries don't), but I don't think that's something he he inherits notability from.
He did have brief spells with two clubs in China's second tier (unfortunately we don't have the no. of minutes) and [https://int.soccerway.com/players/-/184878/ played 614 minutes in Hong Kong], neither of which are strong claims to notability. He did not play a single league game for Wuhan Zall either. What events would have generated coverage then?

If presented one or two independent sources with significant coverage I might change my mind. Otherwise, I don't think this is strong enough. Geschichte (talk) 20:29, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found which show significant coverage please ping me. Giant Snowman 18:17, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
Delete. I didn't find any secondary sources. He is also not mentioned in the articles of the clubs he played for (only in the current Shenzhen Bogang F.C. squad as of October 2020), so there is nowhere to redirect.
