• Comments @Sir Sputnik: I would assume that considering Malaysia – Malaysia Super League is on the fully pro list that we have, that he passes WP:NFOOTY. Did you review the leagues list? Govvy (talk) 18:51, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• WP:NFOOTY requires footballer must have actually played (i.e. appeared in a match) in a fully professional league. Shaharudin may be signed to a MSL club, but since yet to actually play, he does not meet WP:NFOOTY. Sir Sputnik (talk) 19:55, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 09:39, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• additional Comments I had another good look through the players article and, I actually think he will eventually pass WP:NFOOTY, when you have an article like 1, that. It does make you think, I also just realised, at first I thought he was already in the top flight league, but it was the second div and I got a bit confused. I am sure he will be playing for Kelantan and then probably the countries national team. At the moment he fails NFooty, but I don't think that will be for long. There is more on the web, a google search shows some interesting articles towards GNG. I think this article at the moment should be in someone's sandbox.

• Delete (for now) - clear WP:TOOSOON, the article fails WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG. Sure he probably will play professionally in the near future but that is WP:CBALL at the moment and the article can easily be recreated if this AFD is closed delete.
