Comment Please do not confuse the footballer Kiani Wong with the softball player Kiani Wong; they are two different people. This Kiani Wong article and discussion is about the football player from Tahiti, French Polynesia, who played for FC Vendenheim Alsace in Strasbourg, France; then briefly for Cardiff City FC in Wales, United Kingdom; then briefly for Yeovil Town FC Women in England, United Kingdom; before moving to FC Saarbrücken in Germany.

Draftify (to not say keep) – Found sources → [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] – Nominator, seeing the current appearance of the article is not enough to nominate. Please, search for sources before doing this type of nominations.--MonFrontieres (talk) 14:44, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment – If there are finally more "keep" than "draftify" votes, count mine as keep in that case.--MonFrontieres (talk) 20:04, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - there's plenty about her in French (quick check on Tahiti Infos turns up multiple articles specifically about her, not just passing mentions, and it looks like she's fairly notable in French Polynesia). Unfortunately I don't have time to incorporate them tonight (and honestly, sports bios are not really my thing) --IdiotSavant (talk) 15:01, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify per MosFrontieres. ~~This stub needs a lot more work anyway, so let's save everyone some time and let MosFrontieres work on it. Unless~~ If you are in Germany and/or have access to German newspapers, etc., and happen to be reading this, and are able to contribute sources to incorporate (because it can be very hard to access them from outside DE), whether they could help to establish notability or just as background. So far all I can see in DE is one passing mention in Saarbrücker Zeitung. In the UK, her signing with Yeovil has a passing mention in SheKicks, which is the main magazine for women's football. But there could easily be more; in any case it will require more time. Cielquiparle (talk) 17:14, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment – @Cielquiparle: I can not promise work hard on the article improvement.--MonFrontieres (talk) 20:04, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  @MonFrontieres Sorry I think I completely misunderstood your earlier comment! Cielquiparle (talk) 20:26, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per sources found by MF. Giant Snowman 19:02, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I also found a lot of sources about her online. Also, she is capped internationally for Tahiti. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 21:54, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Getting capped is 100% irrelevant for determining footballer notability and is not a valid argument at AfD. JoelleJay (talk) 05:06, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify. The sources found by MonFrontieres are: 1. Profile on the Tahitian Football Federation site (not independent). 2. An interview by Air Tahiti Nui, which is doubly non-independent since she is an ambassador for the brand. 3. Possibly substantial coverage in a TNTV piece, but is a) youth coverage, and b) not bylined. 4. SportsTahiti/Tahiti86 interview with a few sentences of intro commentary; again, considerations for youth coverage must be made. 5. DomTomNews piece that is identical to the TNTV source. 6. An interview on the Tahitian Football Federation site (not independent). 7. Article from Oceania Football Confederation, which is not independent. There's potential here, but if coverage is limited to her playing as a teenager, a standalone article is not warranted. JoelleJay (talk) 05:06, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Passes GNG. Simione001 (talk) 05:53, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
