Fails WP:GNG - hasn't been the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources. Also fails WP:NSPORTS, hasn't played in a tier 1 international match as per [1]. Northern Mariana Islands are not FIFA-affiliated, therefore can't play tier 1 international matches. Simione001 ( talk) 23:02, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

- Delete - fails both WP:NFOOTY & WP:GNG. -- Jimbo [online] 14:03, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
- Strong Keep - Has played for the national team, thus fulfilling WP:NFOOTY. Has an interesting backstory as well. Inter&anthro ( talk) 20:15, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - hasn't played in a FIFA-recognised match; the 'interesting backstory' argument is not related to any policy so I can't see any reason for keeping this article Spiderone 16:55, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - his country is not in FIFA, he is probably not professional. — Rwxrwxrwx ( talk) 20:38, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
