If
User:MyatLynnAung can point to a single
Myanmar National League match report that mentions him playing, I'm sure everyone here would support that the article would be kept.

Weak Delete - Probably notable per
WP:NFOOTY, but really struggling to find confirmation of this, the comments above suggest that he essentially probably has played for a team in a fully professional league since I think it unlikely someone would play internationally without any club experience at an U-23 level, but are unfounded in the sources available to those not speaking Burmese.
MyatLynnAung, at the risk of sounding presumptuous, your user name indicates that you might speak burmese. If so, are you able to provide a source that shows him either in a starting line up or coming on as a sub for his club. No problem if it is in Burmese script.

Strong and speedy keep. See
[1], news report on Yadanarbon FC in the Myanmar National league which clearly shows his name. Also see
[2] and
[3], information on Yadanarbon FC's involvement in the
2015 AFC Cup. Evidence that the subject is a member of Yadanarbon FC, which is participating in the Myanmar National League, Myanmar's top level professional league, and also the AFC Cup, which is by no means non-notable. Therefore, clearly passes
WP:NFOOTBALL.

Comment Google has announced last time that they'll drop rankings of non mobile-friendly sites and non secure, HTTPS sites, thus websites such as
The Myanmar Times would fall off Google's search rankings. If we assume most Burmese news websites to be the same, than a simple Google search can't be used to then rate notability just because you can't find anything on something, because it's highly likely Google isn't showing it due to their search engine design.
AfD is not the Wikipedia Cleanup Department. I wished that more users would do their best to search for information rather than simply doing a Google search and expecting Google to speak for them.

To be fair, yes. I'll keep to
WP:BLP on that point. But once there is sufficient information on that subject I think a deletion review would definitely be in store.

Comment - I have asked this also on
WP:FOOTY, and got and understood that continental competition apps does not make someone notable. Unless there are sources that mentions he played in the Myanmar League OR senior national team, then he will be notable. The sources above still does not make him notable since they only mention his apps in AFC Cup. Discussion link
here.

Normally when that comes up, it's between two teams where one (or both) aren't fully professional. And the reason is that when two fully professional teams meat in a continental cup, they tend to use regular players. What's different here, isn't that we think that this player hasn't had a league cap; this is the rare case where most suspect he has, but there's a complete lack of league match reports that anyone can find. I can't recall this every happening for another fully-professional league.

*Should still be deleted. While Ye Ko Oo's team has played in the
AFC Cup, there is no source that affirms that he himself played in it. If he did play if would clearly be shown on a cite such as soccerway, the AFC website, or nationalfootballteams.com. As a matter of fact he comes up on none of those so it is most probable that he didn't play in that completion. There is no source what so ever to suggest that he is a regular for
Yadanarbon FC, and while the fact that he has played a league game for them is certainly in the possibility Wikipedia needs clear references and not user's assumptions.

Never mind, I finally found a source that confirms that he played in an
AFC Cup match (sound a bit like a dumbass now haha). I have added the content to the article and it should now qualify for
WP:NFOOTY.

Comment - I am not able to find particular detail of the fixtures in which Ye Ko Oo appeared for his Club. But according to the result of quick search of
www.footballdatabase.eu/football, he scored 4 times for
Yadanarbon FC in 2014-15 season. Although clear reference of fixture information is not available but how he scored if he did not appeared. Still it is an assumption but it is a safe assumption.

Sorry, those goals were not from National League.
