Not notable as a footballer, only played 333 minutes in Thai league 1. Deprodded with the reasoning "has considerable coverage". This is frankly not very helpful, because the existence of news pieces does not mean that there is significant coverage. In my opinion, the provided coverage is not significant, with articles being shorter than average, not going in depth and relying heavily on quotes. Here is one example:

Asalah Phengbanrai, defender of Phrae United, hopes to win the last match of the first leg at home against Trat FC.

For the 2022/23 Thai League 2 match 17, the last match of the first leg, Phrae United (ranked 4th) will open their home stadium to meet Trat FC (ranked 13th). Before the match, Asalah Phengbanrai, the veteran defender of the army “The Wild Horse” revealed that…

“In the last match of the first half of the season, we had the opportunity to play at home in front of our fans from Phrae who came to cheer us on at the edge of the field. We will make our fans happy and impressed by watching this match.”

“For our goal, of course, we want to win. I expect that if we can get three points in this match, it will have some effect on our team’s ranking on the league table. Even if we don’t move up, at least the gap between the points of the teams that are better than us won’t be too far. We might even get closer. Let’s test it again in the second half of the season.”

For the M-150 Championship or Thai League 2, season 2022/23, match 17, Phrae United will meet Trat FC on Sunday, December 11, 2022 at 6:00 p.m., broadcast live on AIS PLAY and T Sports 7.

Delete – Where is the considerable coverage? Just two sources on the article, and one is the player's soccerway profile. Svartner (talk) 00:47, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Ballthai.com, linked in the edit summary.[1] One of them is the example Geschichte was referring to in the nomination. --Paul_012 (talk) 23:32, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete—Although his career suggests that there theoretically should be coverage of this player, there doesn't seem to be any. Anwegmann (talk) 19:50, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The most in-depth coverage I found is this piece from Himsanam.com, a local football news site for Thailand's northern region, covering his retirement.[2] There are quite a few more results on the site, but like Ballthai.com's, they're mostly updates and match reports. --Paul_012 (talk) 23:41, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
