Josh Ford (soccer)

PROD contested by User:Smartyllama with the explanation "Ford has been covered in several notable sources regarding his play with the Sounders. He was also a conference champion in college." However, the five references currently present in the article appear to be routine sports coverage and are not sufficient to make the article pass WP:GNG. Also fails WP:NFOOTBALL.

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Coverage is routine and has not made his pro debut yet. Giant Snowman 11:53, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He was a multiple-time All-American athlete in college and plays for a top-level team. First-team All American qualifies for notability under Wikipedia:NSPORT#College_athletes. Smartyllama (talk) 14:37, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
