I prodded this because the league he now plays in and the team he now plays on are not fully professional. Creator agreed to this, but deprodded because: "agreed that he fails WP:NSPORT... passes WP:GNG by being part of a championship-winning team in the US (2010 PDL champs)". Question: how can an amateur football competition be notable, and how can being a team member pass WP:GNG, minding WP:INHERIT? Geschichte (talk) 17:54, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - agree with nom, fails both WP:NFOOTBALL and WP:GNG. Giant Snowman 01:08, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: in answer to your first question, many amateur competitions are notable. The FIFA World Cup and all it's various age group and women's tournament spin-offs are technically amateur. The Chatham Cup is a probably a more appropriate football example for your meaning. That does not, however, mean that each player participating in that competition is notable.--ClubOranje^T 06:07, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - as stated by nom, notability is not inherited. Without significant coverage or an appearance in a fully pro league, he fails both WP:GNG, and WP:NSPORT. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:36, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
