Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested on the grounds that he played Major Arena Soccer League, which is not confirmed as fully pro. Sir Sputnik (talk) 03:16, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I want to see full prove that the Major Arena Soccer League isn't fully professional. Not just some subjective opinion stating that it is not a professional league. Shotgun pete (talk) 10:21, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have stated my argument and have presented some evidence to support my claim at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues. Shotgun pete (talk) 11:33, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
