  • Comment. To those recommending "keep", please consider this WP:BIO guideline: Sportspeople who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in an individual professional sport, or at the highest level in mainly amateur sports, including college sports in the United States. Articles about first team squad members who have not made a first team appearance may also be appropriate, but only if the individual is at a club of sufficient stature that most members of its squad already have articles. Thanks. PJM 14:50, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Drawing the line at Asian Games or at the very least at the SEA Games proper. Low Google hits too. Otherwise, he's not notable enough for inclusion. --Andylkl [ talk! | c ] 18:35, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - not competed internationally at international level. no athletic achievements of notable skill.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 05:09, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep: think competing overseas in various meets should be considered competed in international meet as SEAG is a recognized meet in the context. international level terms is defined as competing overseas with various athletes in dictionary. So should be no prob as for the meet in thailand and the singapore asian meet(Mark waite 06:54, 20 February 2006 (UTC))

      • Comment: Struck out duplicate vote. Stifle 14:36, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep; we should support Asian athletes! having proudly represented the country in overseas meet is a strong proof of notability. in this case, with the addition of extra TV exposure, it should be enough. (Geishalover 06:58, 20 February 2006 (UTC))
