Sergio Flores[edit]

I tried to have a look for sources for this guy but it's proving pretty difficult. He's played 32 times for Crystal Palace Baltimore (a professional team) so he meets WP:NFOOTY, though honestly I'm not sure he played a pro game for them. Looking for a second opinion here. — foxj 00:31, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Also cannot find any source to verify the notability claims. Giant Snowman 07:27, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It's interesting... If I add "Crystal Palace Baltimore" to the search above, to weed out all the other Sergio Flores, my first two results are a sports photographer's website, with images for sale of Mr Flores playing in USL2 matches, and the third is a preview of a USL2 match that includes a paragraph about Palace's last USL2 match, in which Mr Flores scored the winner and earned a spot in the Team of the Week. As he clearly did play in the allegedly fully professional USL2, he clearly passes WP:NFOOTBALL. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:10, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - as per Struway. There's quite a few match reports in a quick Google search that state he played in USL2 matches. Kosack (talk) 09:21, 1 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - article clearly states he played for well-known USL Second Division team listed in WP:FPL. No end of match reports, including one from the 2008 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup where he played in the quarter-final match against the fully-professional MLS side New England Revolution - see here.
