Joshua Hill (American soccer player)

Fails WP:ATHLETE. Appears to have played college soccer, followed by a number of attempts to sign for European teams. But lacking any evidence these occurred, no cites, and article has a history of fallacies being added. Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 13:01, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Even if everything in the article were sourced, we'd still only have a semi-professional footballer, and they're no more notable than minor-league baseball players, who are virtually always deleted — you have to be fully professional, not just semi-.

do not delete I have coached and known this player for over 10 years. Not only have I seen this player grow as an athlete but as a respectable person as well.I had even tried to recruit him while I coached at the university of Hartford. I believe that the current version of the article is due justice for all of the hard work put into his career. I would also like to add that la liga segunda A and B divisions in Spain are all fully professional leagues. I personally watched Josh during his play there.I will send citations in due time.
