PROD removed by article creator. Fails WP:GNG (due to lack of significant coverage) and WP:NFOOTBALL (has not played in a Tier 1 international match; the Falkland Islands are not members of FIFA and therefore their matches are Tier 2 at most per FIFA regulations.

Delete - per nom. Chipunza's club and international play is insufficient to meet WP:NSPORT and he has received insufficient coverage to meet WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 18:19, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as failing WP:NFOOTBALL, the Falkland Islands official football team does not qualify as belonging to a Fully professional league, unlike the Faroe Islands Premier League. Thee is no other basis for notability. --Bejnar (talk) 19:04, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~ subject has played for the national team thus qualifying WP:NFOOTY. Inter&anthro (talk) 19:25, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Inter&anthro: err he's played for basically an unofficial national team. In what way does he meet WP:NFOOTBALL? Giant Snowman 21:13, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Concur with GiantSnowman, this is not an official national team, neither is the Falkland Islands a nation. Read the guidelines. --Bejnar (talk) 23:30, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry, I did not notice that the subject of the article played for the Falkland Islands, I must have misunderstood it to be the Faroe Islands, which is a FIFA-registered team. I have struck my previous vote. Inter&anthro (talk) 00:51, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played or managed senior international football nor played or managed in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Fenix down (talk) 11:15, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
