Player has not featured in a fully professional league GauchoDude (talk) 10:00, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

• Delete - Player has not made an appearance in a fully professional league. Also, international caps do not count for notability unless they are senior international caps. For more, see WP:BIO for athlete notability. GauchoDude (talk) 10:03, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

• Weak Keep - Whilst he hasn't represented a professional league, it is notable that he has represented his country at junior level. He is also only 22 years old, so is still considered to be a junior, hence this is still relevant. The likelihood is that he will at a minimum play professional soccer in a short period of time, and has a good chance to represent his country. This makes him notable.

• Delete Not notable per WP:BIO. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 20:35, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:BIO. His representation at junior level doesn't make him notable yet. If he plays for his club or country then recreate. Peanut4 (talk) 20:41, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

• Weak keep: AFAIK, international representation at U20 or above is usually taken as sufficient. Kevin McE (talk) 21:17, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - Amateur participation for his country at an international level qualifies him with the BIO guidelines. Neier (talk) 22:35, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
• Delete until and unless he makes a fully professional competitive appearance. - fchd (talk) 08:37, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
• Keep, as per Daniel Parslow, Wales Under-21 player, who was kept despite never playing in a fully professional league. Under-20 is the highest level of youth football in North America (except Olympics). There has been no formalisation of this precedent, but playing in the U-20 World Cup is the highest level of youth football. I will raise the subject at WP:FOOTY King of the NorthEast 11:19, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
