reviewed during NPP. No evidence of wp:notability under GNG or SNG. Of the 4 references, the first is a youtube video,, the 2nd and 3rd just includ a single mention of his name in a list. I can't find anything at the 4th references although the title looks like an entry in a 1977 newspaper that says that their team won. Tagged by others for wp:notability sinces September.

Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found which show significant coverage please ping me. Giant Snowman 20:34, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep I'm not good at finding Thai sources but from quick glances, apparently, he's now vice president of the Football Association of Thailand as of July 2024 according to this and this which could demonstrate some notability. I could also find a sports program dedicated to him here and had some brief success as a youth coach in 2009. He's also repeatedly mentioned in notable Thai footballers of the 1970s such as this and this, He also participated in the 1976 King's Cup according to this site.

- He's a member of the board, but not the vice president. --Paul_012 (talk) 21:12, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – References to social media are unreliable per WP:NOTSOCIALNETWORK and WP:SELFPUB, thus should never be used on articles. They also don't demonstrate notability. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 13:32, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- What are you referring to by "References to social media"? --Paul_012 (talk) 20:24, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  YouTube reference on the article. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 15:53, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Youtube is a video-hosting platform. While it has social media features and features user-generated content, none of that is relevant to the video, which, as the citation already clearly notes, and I pointed out again above, is a TV production. --Paul_012 (talk) 20:19, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Has a significant career from the pre-digital era, so offline sources likely exist. For example, the TV programme that interviewed him shows a 1989 magazine cover featuring him at the 36 second mark, as well as several magazine spreads, which were likely accompanied by in-depth profile pieces. The daily sports tabloid Star Soccer recently featured a profile of him in its 4 August 2024 issue. Apart from that and the Nation TV programme, most search results are brief mentions, including him becoming advisor for Saraburi United F.C.[1] and heading a youth football programme in Khon Kaen, [2], in addition to those noted above by SuperSkaterDude45. --Paul_012 (talk) 21:12, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. In additional to the in-depth coverage by Nation TV and Star Soccer mentioned above, I'm convinced that additional older sources are also very likely to exist. --Paul_012 (talk) 20:21, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - @Giantsnowman:, Per above. Clearly was significant fihgure in Thai football with offline sources. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 19:40, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
