Earned one cap for the Lesotho national football team. Unable to find sufficient in-depth coverage from third-party sources, failing WP:GNG. I found examples like this and this. JTtheOG (talk) 16:41, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: He is a player of a nation’s national team. That is notability enough. Even if it’s a stub. Amaekuma (talk) 19:02, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Which notability guideline does this relate to? Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 22:11, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Per Amaekuma. Young player with ongoing career. Article needs improvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 23:36, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. "Playing on a national team" is not a valid AfD rationale, and it is tendentious for an editor who knows this after !voting in hundreds of sportsperson AfDs to continue using that argument over and over. No GNG sourcing has been identified, and I didn't come across anything beyond routine match recaps[1][2] and transactions[3] in Lesotho media. JoelleJay (talk) 05:45, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Article fails WP:GNG; I couldn't find anything except routine coverage or press releases from his employers/competition organizers. Jogurney (talk) 20:04, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. Notable modern day athletes from english speaking countries, such as Koloti, generally have significant online sources. Koloti, who may or may not have an active career (no sources support that fact), seems to have only participated in one national team game so maybe it is not so surprising that there are no indications that he gained any notability for his football career. Alvaldi (talk) 13:50, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 09:07, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
