Delete there are no sources that indicate notability. His status as a top scorer for Tonga doesn't mean much in Wikipedia terms, unfortunately. --MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 09:20, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Tonga national team's top scorer ever and the second most capped Tonga player. Simione001 (talk) 13:39, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Can only find mentions of Feao. Lacks significant coverage. Dougal18 (talk) 14:20, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. NFOOTY was deprecated, and with it the presumption of notability for international footballers. Notability for them now falls to GNG/WP:SPORTCRIT (which has always been the case ultimately). Additionally, NSPORT has been amended to require at least one source of SIGCOV be in sportsperson articles for even unchallenged articles to be in mainspace, although a single source for an article brought to AfD on notability grounds is still insufficient. Arguments such as Tonga national team's top scorer ever and the second most capped Tonga player. are therefore invalid as they do not assert a P&G-based reason for retention (the claim itself is also completely unsourced OR). As for the sources: the article currently fails NSPORT as it cites only two stats databases. A search on google for "Unaloto Fe'ao" and "Unaloto Feao" returns primarily databases, wikimirrors, and non-independent media (from OFC). Searching Matangi Tonga returns a single routine sports recap. LoopTonga mentions him (or someone with the same name) in a list of rugby players in another routine recap. There appear to be mentions in some Courier Mail articles that I can't access: a recap and a report on a club awards night. And that's it. Nothing in Kaniva Tonga or Nepituno or SIBC. The dude just hasn't received coverage. JoelleJay (talk) 18:11, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 19:32, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the one comment opposing deletion has no relevance to any accepted Wikipedia guideline. There is no evidence that Feao passes GNG at all. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 07:42, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
