G4 speedy declined without comment by someone other than the article creator - last AFD was closed as Delete. If there is merit to keep this after three AFDs then fine, but there should be a discussion as to whether the subject meets WP:ATHLETE or WP:GNG. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 23:52, 27 July 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Keep: The speedy was removed because he is currently playing in an MLS match. I just saw it before the match and created the article. Source: [1]. Cheers. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 00:08, 28 July 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep - per ArsenalFan700. – Michael (talk) 01:03, 28 July 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep This article shouldn't even be nominated for deletion, since this is professional player who already played in a fully professional league.--SirEdimon (talk) 01:14, 28 July 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Comment: I have now added a source on the page itself now. Also I will take blame for this as I should have just added the source when I created the page just to show he was in the line-up. Cheers. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 01:30, 28 July 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Keep Now passes WP:NFOOTY.--Egghead06 (talk) 01:41, 28 July 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Comment - based on the above, I'd advise the nominator to re-consider this nomination. Giant Snowman 10:40, 28 July 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No problem withdrawing the nomination at this point, after 4 AFDs I think there is finally merit for inclusion. If anyone wants to close, I'm all for it. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 18:41, 28 July 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Delete - This article was deleted because it failed WP:GNG about six months ago. I can't see how playing 79 minutes of a match makes any change to that, and since the subject still fails GNG the article should be deleted. Mentoz86 (talk) 18:43, 28 July 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

But... that would require me to actually put effort into the article so it passes GNG. I mean, I can do it, but do I want to? Hm... --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 19:03, 28 July 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

If you can't see how playing in a fully professional league doesn't "make any change to that", then you need to re-read the appropriate notability standards. Here's a ((minnow)) to plip you in their direction. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 08:41, 2 August 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Keep - sigh, I was just about to close this as "nomination withdrawn" but I can't when there are valid 'delete' !votes...however, this player has made his professional debut and passes WP:NFOOTBALL, the clock for GNG should therefore start now. Giant Snowman 18:51, 28 July 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Keep Passes WP:NFOOTY as has played in a fully pro league namely the MLS. Finnegas (talk) 21:40, 29 July 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
