Fails WP:GNG as the subject of the article hasn't been the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources. Fails WP:NSPORTS as he hasn't played or managed in a fully professional league or at international level. Hack (talk) 09:21, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The subject of this article has refereed in Major League Soccer, a professional league and hence the article meets WP:NFOOTY. Inter&anthro (talk) 02:43, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Which point of WP:NFOOTY does it meet? Hack (talk) 02:47, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sportspeople who have played, managed, or officiated at a professional match. Look around and you will see that most referees who officiate in professional leagues have articles. Inter&anthro (talk) 02:58, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's not what WP:NFOOTY actually says. Also refer to WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Hack (talk) 03:05, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It seemed that way until Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football/Archive_98#Referee_notability anyways. Still seems notable to me, probably need some one from that WikiProject to clear things up. Inter&anthro (talk) 03:16, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Look here as well, he has a profile on Professional Referee Organization, which by its namesake I would assume to be professional. A good but not certain indication of notability. Inter&anthro (talk) 03:24, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no agreed notability standards for referees, though international ones probably are notable. This guy fails WP:GNG and that's what matters most. Giant Snowman 18:03, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. WP:NFOOTY DOES NOT APPLY. It covers players, but not referees, per Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football/Notability#Referee_notability. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:37, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no indication of GNG. WP:NFOOTY does not apply as he is a referee not a player. Fenix down (talk) 08:20, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - clear failure of WP:GNG Spiderone 19:13, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
