Contested PROD. Concern was that the article Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. PROD was contested on the grounds that he will play for Orlando City SC, which is speculation in violation of WP:CRYSTAL and never grounds for notability. Sir Sputnik (talk) 06:42, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

• Delete - Has not played in a fully professional league nor played senior international football, so fails WP:NFOOTY. No indication of any other achievements garnering sufficient coverage to pass GNG. Can always restore if he plays. Fenix down (talk) 10:17, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
• Delete - as original PRODder; fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 13:20, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

• Comment Nominating editor has misrepresented the grounds for removing the prod. It wasn't because he will play, but because there's little point wasting time and resources deleting an article, that most likely will be validly recreated when the season starts in a few weeks. However, if y'all really want to waste everyone's time, it's a valid deletion ... but I once again fail to see some want so desperately to play WP:WHACAMOLE rather than showing some patience and WP:COMMONSENSE and simply waiting a few weeks to see what happens. I fail to see the harm in an aritlce does appearing a few weeks prematurely. Nfitz (talk) 02:37, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
• Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. The article can be restored at the click of a button when subject becomes notable, but at the moment he is not. JMHamo (talk) 02:43, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

• I can't restore at a click of a button. And why waste everyone's time with what is most likely a temporary deletion? Can just as easily argue that it can be deleted with a click of a button if he isn't even riding the bench in a few weeks. Nfitz (talk) 02:50, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

• You can use WP:DRV when he's notable. JMHamo (talk) 03:01, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
