Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 08:33, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Article appears to have sources which support claims in the article. Are the source great? No. But if you look at online sources for topics in Oceania they tricky to find. Also Newspaper.com from [[WP:LIBRARY] is still not working so I can't check Newspapers at this time. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 09:44, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep votes provided no sources, BEFORE showed nothing, Being listed in rosters and databases does not demonstrate notability. WP:BLP states "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources"'; BLPs need IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV). // Timothy :: talk 04:32, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@TimothyBlue Legit question, not being a jerk or anything but what do we do with all these articles with minimal sources? There are dozens and dozens of articles like this, do we just mass delete them all? Normally I would hit up Newspapers.com and try to find something but it's not working right now.

If most can be brought to a level where there are 2 or more sources giving more than a trivial mention then the article is fine to stay. Those that lack this, even after source searches, should be considered for deletion. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 10:51, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - clearly fails WP:SPORTBASIC #5 which is the absolute minimum requirement, this was reinforced in this recent discussion. I found him in the blacklisted site Football Arroyo but this is yet another squad list mention that fails to address Tanoa'i in any detail whatsoever.
