Google search only comes up with sites that link to Wikipedia. Therefore he fails

Keep based on research below from Phil Bridger which shows that this player has played in a fully-pro league, meaning he passes
WP:ATHLETE.

Delete - I couldn't find any evidence that he has played for Sriracha.
Jogurney (
talk) 18:06, 17 July 2009 (UTC) Per the evidence below, it seems that Wonghoi has played for Srirachi in the Thai Premier League. I've changed my !vote to keep.

Keep - He's listed on the
club's web page as number 19 - "สุพจน์ วงษ์หอย" that
transliterates to "sòo-pót wong hŏi" so he's certainly on their roster. As they only list 23 players, it would seem likely that he has made appearances. I can find one media article that mentions him -
[1] which appears to be a game report. He looks legit to me.

When I click on the link all I get is a "Oops! This link appears to be broken." message from Google...

I just clicked on it, and it worked; maybe it was down.

Keep. As
User:Nfitz points out, he's listed on Sriracha FC website. If Thai pro footballers are generally not notable and fail
WP:ATHLETE, the issue should be addressed systematically since about 3/4 of the
current squad have their own similar one-line unreferenced article. — AjaxSmack 03:23, 19 July 2009 (UTC)reply
Keep.
These appear to be match reports showing that the subject has played in the Thai Premier League, at least as far as I can make out from Google's translations, which are very difficult to read without laughing (e.g. "Dragon-headed unicorn no fear, terrified of the sea turtle Master stabbing attack share points").
