Contested PROD. Concern was Not notable at present. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. PROD was contested by an IP without providing a reason. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:25, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep--I'm not sure how this fails WP:NFOOTBALL. That page explicitly says "Players who have appeared, and managers who have managed, in a fully-professional league (as detailed here), will generally be regarded as notable", and as the article details, he has appeared in several games for FC Dallas, a professional team that's been around since the founding of Major League Soccer. Meelar (talk) 20:27, 8 July 2011 (UTC)Delete--yikes. Sorry for missing that. You're completely right. Once he starts a game he deserves an article Meelar (talk) 22:24, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - "as the article details, he has appeared in several games for FC Dallas" - sorry; where pl? TerriersFan (talk) 22:14, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. The two external links, that detail games played, are actually about Ruben Luna not Richard Sanchez. I respectfully suggest that this is a rather subtle but important discrepancy. TerriersFan (talk) 22:14, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. How does someone get a winners medal without even playing in one match? That's a new one to me. Argyle 4 Life^talk 00:04, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
