Footballer that does not appear to have played a full professional game. Sources are mostly local papers and match reports. Black Kite (talk) 21:45, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect. Mostly the references were about match reports which doesn't indicate notability. But with this reference, I would prefer to redirect to Maidstone.Fade258 (talk) 08:45, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - no evidence of notability. Nowhere useful to redirect to, the 'current club' will be out of date in due course. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 19:17, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi @GiantSnowman:, Till now I have found only one reliable and independent sources to the subject which I already mentioned in my above comment. On the basis of that reference I would like to go for redirect. Best Regards ! Fade258 (talk) 03:21, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - @GiantSnowman:, @Svartner:, @Fade258:, I found [1] ("Gurung’s parents settled in Kent after his father’s time as Gurkha in the British army... Gurung has international ambitions and has been in contact with the Nepali football authorities but is yet to commit... has A-levels in maths and economics", [2] ("Bivesh is the youngest child of Bhupal Gurung and Sanu Gurung who are from the Khotang Hills of Eastern Nepal. Bivesh, the youngest son of his parents who have been doing business for a long time in the UK, grew up there. While growing up there, studying at Maidstone School, Bivesh joined age group club of the same school and started playing football... While in Trysil, he also scored 4 important goals in the league for the team in 13 matches as a central midfielder... gave a trial at the prestigious English Premiership club Chelsea. In the middle of March 2021, he was in Chelsea's U-23 setup against Brentford B. In that match, Chelsea lost 2-1... relegated to the English 6th division National League South... It can definitely cause problems to represent the Nepali national football team. He will have to give up that visa to get Nepalese citizenship which is not a good move for him. "), [3] ("Bivesh Gurung has taken to a new defensive role at Maidstone United.

Gurung played centre-back for the first time in senior football... local lad Gurung has been a fixture in Elokobi’s side this season.... it’s turning into a breakthrough campaign for the former Maidstone Grammar School pupil") , [4], ("Gurung is a product of the club’s youth set-up where he was spotted and offered a scholarship by Crystal Palace in 2017. He has since headed back to Maidstone via spells playing in Scandinavia and nailed down a regular spot despite the club’s arduous end to last season in the National League. His fitting finish set social media alight but while he has enjoyed being the centre of attention, Gurung is quick to share the plaudits.") among many more sources. Young player witn ongoing career and clearly siginficnt figure in Nepali football. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 21:40, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Das osmnezz:, Thank you for the references but only 1st and 3rd references were reliable and independent to the subject i.e The Guardian and Kentonline respectively. Sajha Khel isn't a reliable source. Fade258 (talk) 03:40, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sajha Khel is reliable, its a Nepali football news webiste and the author has worked as a sports journalist. The Non League Football Paper is also independent. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 06:39, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
