  • Keep. 5 games at 2 FIFA Club World Cups, including playing in the semi final and winning the bronze medal with a minnow side like AKC is akin to Iceland getting to semis in the Euros, and got to generate more coverage, like those above, and in depth interviews like this, than a couple of substitute appearances in a local cup, or 46 minutes in a regional cup competition, so common sense applies. Article needs improving not deleting. Club Oranje T 07:57, 13 October 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - some comments on the sources presented above which claim to satisfy GNG:
  1. Oceania Football - this is a primary source, the interview is from the OFC's official website, GNG needs coverage in secondary sources.
  2. tiemporeal.mx - this is simply a brief article that states little more than he is a Mexican player in New Zealand, difficult to see how this could be used to build out much encyclopedic content
  3. voxy.co.nz - Although the article title mentions the player, this is not significant coverage of the player himself, with the article mentioning him in the context of routine transfer talk before spending most of the article discussing his club.
  4. ESPN - significant enough in my opinion to help support GNG, but this coupled with one other Spanish source of minimal length isn't really enough overall. Fenix down ( talk) 08:41, 13 October 2017 (UTC) reply
If that player were to come to AfD again I would probably err on the side of caution and say that it probably is primary in the sense that both articles are essentially using the interview with the player to promote club's belonging to their confederation's participation in the club world cup. On your other sources:
  1. apuntesderabona - looks like a blog to me, not really sure of its significance in terms of coverage
  2. Univision - doesn't really discuss the player in great depth, about half of the brief-ish article talks about games Auckland might play in the tournament and elements are openly credited as having been lifted from his clubs official (and therefore WP:PRIMARY webpage)
  3. maquinacementera.com - does add a bit more significant coverage, but I'm not completely convinced. There seems to be a fair bit of little articles out there and a couple of interviews, but I'm not sure there is enough for GNG. Fenix down ( talk) 13:23, 13 October 2017 (UTC) reply
I reached the same conclusion at Fenix down regarding the GNG. Most of the sources in the es:Wikipedia article don't qualify as significant coverage in reliable sources (apuntesderabona and maquinacementara are self-published blogs) and the few that come close just aren't enough.
