Keep - there's a phenomenal amount of coverage of him in the Chinese media, including in-depth features and interviews meeting
WP:GNG. Examples are

2, and
3.

Could you please provide some explanation as to what these say? At the moment you have provided a number of foreign language sources in a script that makes it impossible to infer meaning. You can't just dump a load of sources like this and run, you need to explain how these contribute to GNG. These could simply be routine transfer talk or worse, might not even be about the player.

I'm not sure what you are looking for here. How does the script make it impossible to infer meaning - simply right-click and press translate; or toss the URL in
https://translate.google.ca/ - it's quite clear that these are in-depth features and interviews. Nothing in the scripting on the web page stops the translate from working.

WP:GNG being the first ever Chinese player to sign for, arguably, one of the world's largest and most successful football clubs. Consequently, there is ample coverage on the player from some very large English media outlets that are expressing the sheer significance of his transfer.
[1][2][3]. This is one Asian source discussing the player
[4], but if he is getting significant coverage in Europe, I can only imagine what they are saying about him in China. --

Those are just routine transfer reports, there's essentially nothing in any of those sources that would enable anyone to write an encyclopedic article which would contain anything other than "he signed for Real Madrid". The chinese source you provided is just a brief match report of a youth team game. Transfer talk and match reporting are, by long standing consensus, not considered appropriate for GNG. You may well imagine that there is lots written about him in China, but you need to be able to provide those sources and explain to a non-chinese-speaking audience what they say and how they contribute to GNG.

User:Fenix down Those may be routine, but the 3 references above, that I added to the article, aren't. See
1,
2, and
3. 1 and 3 are in-depth features, and 2 is an extensive interview, all appearing on major Chinese media outlets, thus making it clear that this player meets
WP:GNG.

Delete - Does not presently play in a
fully-professional league and has not played senior international football, thus failing
WP:NFOOTY. All references provided in the article and all references found with a Google search are routine transfer reports and other items which do not rise to the level of
WP:GNG. —
