Delete – Fails
WP:NFOOTBALL as he does not play in a
WP:FPL, and even though article currently states he plays for national team he has never played for senior national team so he is not notable for that reason. The article also fails other notability guidelines like
WP:GNG. Qed237(talk) 21:53, 11 July 2015 (UTC)reply
Football at the Asian Games is a youth tournament, meaning it is explicitly excluded as a source of notability per
WP:NFOOTBALL. His minimal involvement in the games, unsurprisingly, has also not generated sufficient coverage to meet
WP:GNG.

It is the same age limit in football competitions as with the Olympic Games, three overage players are allowed among each squad in the
Football at the 2014 Asian Games – Men. It is a not youth tournament as players over 23 actually played in the game and further Football is only part of
2014 Asian Games with over 36
Asian Games sports and a medal winner in the Asian games is notable .

WP:NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a
fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy
GNG. The arguments above which appear to rest on the Olympics and the Asian Games being for the same age group are unconvincing, the Olympics are generally recognised as one of the pinnacles of sporting achievement, the Asian Games is merely a regional youth tournament.
