Player has not featured for a fully professional league GauchoDude (talk) 10:17, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete - Player has not featured in a fully professional league. While he is listed on the MLS roster for FC Dallas, he has not been in a game. Since he has not made an appearance, he is not notable per WP:BIO. Once he gets into a league game, the article can be recreated. GauchoDude (talk) 10:17, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep. He's on the team. "Plays" on a team does not necessarily mean he has to actually play in a game for them. Backup players are still on a team. --UsaSatsui (talk) 19:58, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
    • Errr, yes it does. The criteria is "Competitors and coaches who have competed in a fully professional league". пﮟოьεԻ 57 20:29, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep any current MLS player per 'WP:HOYTE ArtVandelay13 (talk) 21:02, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete has not played in a fully professional league, if/when he does, the article can be recreated. King of the NorthEast 11:07, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep He has played for the professional club Minnesota Thunder, and it's possible that the USL First Division is fully professional. If not, he might qualify under the proposed notability standard that treats someone who has played for a professional club in a national league as notable. Jogurney (talk) 22:15, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Meets point 1 of the suggested new criteria (played for a professional club). Even if some issues still are to be ironed out there seem to be a concensus in favour of point 1 (even no57 and King of the NE agreed with this suggestion). Sebisthlm (talk) 15:28, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
