- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was Keep as per no calls for deletion beyond the nominator and a unanimous consensus (albeit in various degrees of strength) to keep the article among the editors participating in this discussion. Going forward, it might be a good idea to keep a lookout for better sourcing for this subject, lest we go for another AfD. A non-admin closure. And Adoil Descended (talk) 13:33, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

- Keep Thanks, Patar knight, for restoring this. I suggest that since the previous AfD discussion in October 2015, Letele has achieved The Sunday Star-Times (21 May 2016). That should be more than sufficient. Schwede66 20:04, 21 June 2016 (UTC)]

- @NealeFamily, Mdtemp, and Papaursa: I thought I'd ping everybody who has participated in the previous deletion discussion, as editors may not have this article on their watchlist. Schwede66 08:58, 22 June 2016 (UTC)]
- Comment The original AfD was correct and mainly hinged on not meeting WP:GNG and that would reflect news coverage. I want to think about this a bit more and see what others say. I do think that the article is in a better position now then it was so the restore and bring it to second AfD makes sense. Benny (the original editor) writes well but with a local flavor. Not a reason to move in any direction - just saying.Peter Rehse (talk) 13:35, 22 June 2016 (UTC)]
- Weak keep I think there is enough to meet talk) 23:14, 22 June 2016 (UTC)]
- Weak Keep Most of the sources given are routine sports reporting. However, I do think there is just enough there to squeak by on meeting ]
- Weak keep The article could do with a trim, and some of the sources look a bit tabloidish, but I believe there is enough sustained coverage in national sports news to be able to fix all that. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:23, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
