Hasn't played in fully professional league. Alexrushfear 15:25, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

  • The notability guidelines state if they have played in fully professional league, or the highest level of amateur level. When I read the definition of "amateur" it says you play for the love of the game, and when you get paid, it's "professional". This is how I see it. He plays for an amateur league (I'm not well versed in soccer, but it appears it is an amateur league), which has it's own wiki article, it appears the league is notable, and since he's on the team, and is documented as in the roster, I am going to say he satisfies notability guidelines, so I believe the article can be kept. However, it would be very nice to see the article expanded. --sumnjim talk with me·changes 15:57, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

  • As the nominator, you should probably just withdraw your nomination, instead of changing your vote (at least, that's how I see it happen when a nominator changes their mind). Whatever floats your boat. Have a good day. --sumnjim talk with me·changes 16:32, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • To be honest, I'm not that clued up on procedure for these kinda things on here. Alexrushfear 16:54, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
