Chris Brown (soccer, born 1985)

Player does not sufficiently satisfy WP:ATHLETE in that they have not played a game for a fully professional league, noting that soccer is a professional sport. In addition, player does not sufficiently satisfy the notability criteria guidelines as outlined by WP:FOOTY in that they do not play for a professional team, have played in a competitive fixture, or have senior international caps/Olympics caps.

Delete Does not meet WP:Athlete. Has not played at the highest level, either in a fully professional league or for the senior national team, nor did he play for the U.S. Men’s Olympic Team in China. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 09:05, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom. Not pro, not in Olympics finals team. Almost making the Olympic team means he is only almost worthy of an article--ClubOranje^Talk 03:24, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - a college athlete participating in a NCAA Division I-A sport who has attained any non-trivial level of notability (I think being named in a preliminary Olympics squad is enough) would certainly be kept, unless he/she plays soccer it seems. It's a very strange state of affairs, don't you think? ugen64 (talk) 19:54, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
