Footballer who fails GNG and most likely NFOOTY. Does Leagues Cup even qualify as a fully-pro international competition? BlameRuiner (talk) 13:41, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep, to save time, the Leagues Cup is a sanctioned tournament between MLS and Liga MX for the top clubs in respective leagues not to qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League, similar to what the North American SuperLiga did from 2007 to 2010, and the UEFA Europa League. I urge the nominator to do some research before going trigger happy on deletion. Quidster4040 (talk) 14:13, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep. Possibly barely passes NFOOTY with 58 minutes of play in the newly launched League cup (do the teams take this seriously?). He does have some coverage - e.g. Chicago Tribune (+ a whole lot of passing mentions) - so it isn't clear he fails GNG. He is active and on a MLS squad.

Keep Assuming that the Leagues Cup is indeed an official tournament as it seems to be, it's a current player with an FPL-related appearance. Which is, as NFOOTY consensus stands, enough - as seen at: AfD/Mats van Kins, AfD/Sean Karani, AfD/Danish Irfan Azman and, just last week, AfD/Ricky Kambuaya. Some may not take the competition seriously, but that's nothing unusual; e.g. England's EFL Cup. R96Skinner (talk) 19:35, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep passes WP:NFOOTY and subject is 18 years old and has just started his career and is (and is still playing) in the top division of a country for Chicago Fire Soccer Club in a WP:FPL league.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 22:11, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - young player at start of career, meets WP:NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 08:30, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Chicago Fire Soccer Club until there is significant coverage in reliable sources. It is irresponsible to have a biography on this young fellow until that point. --Mkativerata (talk) 11:41, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - Article about professional soccer player who hasn't yet played in a fully-pro league (his appearance in the "Leagues Cup" friendly is definitely not sufficient to satisfy WP:NFOOTBALL), however there appears to be significant coverage that meets WP:GNG. Normally, I'd argue this is WP:TOOSOON for such an article, but I think it just barely gets over the notability hurdle. Jogurney (talk) 16:02, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep How in the hell did an MLS soccer player get listed here.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:30, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The subject must pass either GNG or NFOOTBALL: See (Notability)

A topic is presumed to merit an article if:

It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right (WP:NFOOTBALL); and

It is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy. Lightburst (talk) 15:22, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment it could conceivably pass ANYBIO as well (although this subject does not).--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:30, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep per all above, as he appears to meet the WP:NFOOTBALL requirements, albeit barely. Ejgreen77 (talk) 05:13, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
keep Meets WP:NFOOTY and has some coverage towards meeting the GNG.Sandals1 (talk) 14:32, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep MLS player is definitely notable. Why has this not been closed yet? Looks pretty unanimous to keep.--Seacactus 13 (talk) 18:06, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
