Contested PROD. Concern was Fails WP:GNG and hasn't played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested by an IP without providing a reason. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:20, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Does playing in 2012 CONCACAF Men's Olympic Qualifying Tournament qualify him to pass WP:NFOOTY or not? Govvy (talk) 15:33, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't. Countries send their U23 teams to play in the Olympics. The first criteria only applies to players who have have played in their senior team. Funny ^Pika! 22:24, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just read GiantSnowman's comment below and saw that I missed Olympics in WP:FOOTBALL. Funny ^Pika! 22:36, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Playing in the Olympics themselves confers notability per NFOOTBALL; qualifying matches does not. GiantSnowman 15:34, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - or merge; he'll be playing shortly; been called up to the Canadian Mens National Team...will be likely capped in 8 or 11 days; why delete something that will inevitably be restored very shortly Prizby (talk) 15:58, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speculation is never grounds for notability. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:06, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

so than merge it until it can become official in a week or stick to your German football or get into the know with Canadian football Prizby (talk) 16:43, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge where exactly? GiantSnowman 22:15, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To the creater of the page...something like User:Noonehasthisnameithink/Kyle Bekker like what has been done for Bryce Alderson: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Walter_G%C3%B6rlitz/Bryce_Alderson or you can waste your time trying to delete something that will only reappear next week. Prizby (talk) 23:38, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete – nothing to do with Canadian football, if he hasn't played in a professional league or for a national team at senior level then he fails WP:NFOOTBALL. Pretty evident he already fails WP:GNG, so the article should be deleted. Prizby would be advised to read WP:CIVIL. Being "in the know" is no indication of notability. C679 17:50, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Userfy to the creator of the page. The player isn't notable yet per the letter of WP:NFOOTBALL, but will be shortly. Outright deletion would be a waste. PKT(alk) 16:14, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"will be shortly". WP:CRYSTAL. – Michael (talk) 17:13, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Hence, userfy. PKT(alk) 19:31, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - this player has been drafted in the first round by Toronto FC. He is now a professional in Major League Soccer. Bdure (talk) 17:58, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NSPORT explicitly exclude players who have signed but not played for a fully pro club. Sir Sputnik (talk) 18:26, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - hasn't played in a fully pro league or represented his country at senior level, or received significant coverage in reliable source - failing both WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG. No prejudice against recreation once one of the criteria is met. Mentoz86 (talk) 19:17, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's going to get re-created tomorrow, surely you guys have something better to do with your time SMH Prizby (talk) 17:17, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's going to get re-created tomorrow. That's only if he makes his debut for Canada. Honestly, I don't know what sort of issues you guys have here with us nominating pages for deletion because of the fact that they fail GNG and NFOOTY. And at the same time, your issues concern us either. – Michael (talk) 21:20, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

he's been playing with the starting XI squad in training Prizby (talk) 02:18, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
