Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. PROD contested by author. Claiming he's a professional soccer player. Let me say this again, indoor soccer is not fully pro. Which was my reason for the PROD and yet it's still contested. – Michael (talk) 02:32, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following page for the same reason. – Michael (talk) 02:38, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete both - fail WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 08:53, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per nom. He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 18:13, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - In regards to the two issues raised: Blasingame was a 1988 MISL All Star, according to this LA Times article, and played for a team with a $1.275 million salary cap.^[1]
