Played 2 WP:NFOOTY games in 2006–2008 in the third-tier semi professional, non-WP:FPL USL Second Division. Currently coaching a college team. Does not meet NFOOTY. Search results return no significant coverage to meet WP:GNG. Leviv ich 20:20, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I have updated the nomination to reflect that this article no longer meets WP:NFOOTY because USL Second Division has been removed from WP:FPL per the note below. Leviv ich 17:37, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The article clearly passes the criteria of notability as stated in the Football/Fully professional leagues list. Shotgun pete 8:41, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
• Delete. nom consulted me. Clearly fails GNG. After college tried his luck in the minor leagues - failed. There's no significant coverage here. NFOOTY merely creates a presumption of notability, but in the absence of sources it is not sufficient. This guy is from the internet age in an English speaking country - sources should be trivial to find online were he notable - they simply do not exist, and those asserting NFOOTY should pony up with a few in-depth reliable independent sources.Icewhiz (talk) 07:33, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep – meets WP:NFOOTY. 21.colinthompson (talk) 22:57, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - meets WP:NFOOTBALL, see also WP:NCOLLATH for college exploits. Needs improving, not deleting. GiantSnowman 07:40, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  What college exploits? Leviv ich 15:12, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  Played Division-III for RPI (Liberty League) - generally div-III NCAA is non-notable. Now coaches women's soccer in UAlbany. Interestingly, from 2007 he was assistant coach at RPI (no, Liberty league awards are not significant) - which means he was a part time footballer for the Hammerheads (typical situation for USL D2) - and thus yet another example of the semi-pro status of many of the players there.Icewhiz (talk) 15:41, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete it is high time we revised the ridiculous inclusions criteria for footballers and stopped including as default notability second rate leagues.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:07, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  In this case - third rate. USL D2 - USL D1 - MLS.Icewhiz (talk) 07:15, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: per consensus in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues#Status of US minor leagues (concurrent to this AfD) - USL Second Division was struck from the WP:FPL essay, as it was not fully-professional. This should affect !voting based on play in USL D2. Icewhiz (talk) 07:15, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Fails WP:NFOOTY (the keep !votes made on this basis need to be discounted as the league has been removed from the list at WP:FPL following a discussion). Number 57 08:52, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
