He is a soccer referee, serving as a linesman (assistant referee who is not the one who runs in the middle of the pitch) in the 1950 FIFA world cup. The point of claim is that he is the first US national to referee in the FIFA world cup and that he is inducted into the US National Soccer Hall of Fame (A private museum, not connected in any way to the US soccer association). Not sure if that hall of fame is a notable criterion. Daiyusha (talk) 20:24, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. i think WP:ANYBIO 1 should count for all national halls of fame and that ANYBIO 2 should count for being the first American FIFA World Cup referee. ミラ P 14:54, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - being a member of the Hall of Fame is enough for me. Giant Snowman 16:51, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Miraclepine: @GiantSnowman:The "national hall of fame" is a private non-profit organization that honors players and non-players(basically anyone connected to the sport). Its not really something notable enough in my opinion. I'm assuming you were unaware of that fact at the time of voting, and does this change anything.

Keep as he refereed two Tier 1 international games (1950 WC qualifying matches) as a proper referee (not a linesman) per his worldreferee.com profile. Although the article is very clearly a work of single-purpose account. --BlameRuiner (talk) 20:44, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
