The result was Delete. The consensus below is clear. However, should he later get playing time in an MLS match or other fully pro league the article can be recreated with sources chowing that. Eluchil404 (talk) 11:08, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PROD contested by User:TonyTheTiger with the explanation "If this guy played in the MLS, he gets a page". However, the subject has not appeared in any MLS matches (or in any fully professional league) and so the article fails WP:NFOOTBALL. Also fails WP:GNG.

Delete - as PROD'er. As stated in the PROD and the nomination, he has not played in a fully pro league, thus failing WP:NSPORT and he has not received sufficient coverage to pass WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:31, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
