Our article says he played 11 WP:NFOOTY games in 2008 in the third-tier semi professional, non-WP:FPL USL Second Division. Other than that, Apparently hasn't played in any WP:FPLs and does not meet NFOOTY. Search results return no significant coverage to meet WP:GNG. Leviv ich 17:14, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Update: I have updated the nomination to reflect that this article no longer meets WP:NFOOTY because USL Second Division has been removed from WP:FPL per the note below. Leviv ich 18:12, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

• Keep The article passes the criteria of notability as stated in the Football/Fully professional leagues list it just needs to be updated. Shotgun pete 8:10, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
• Keep – clearly passes WP:NFOOTY, this feels like a case of WP:DINC more than anything. 21.colinthompson (talk) 22:42, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
• Delete. nom consulted me prior to nomination. Merits of NFOOTY here are somewhat dubious as while USL Division Two was nominally professional, many players were semi-professionals (holding additional jobs). Regardless, NFOOTY merely creates a presumption of notability - a presumption that sources should exist. In this particular case - as evident in a very simple google search - there is no SIGCOV. As the presumption of GNG is being challenged here, !votes who assert NFOOTY without providing supporting sources (which should be quite easy to locate - English speaking country, most sources from this time period are available online) - should be disregarded.

• Keep - meets WP:NFOOTBALL by some way; needs improving, not deleting. GiantSnowman 07:43, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
• Note: per consensus in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues#Status of US minor leagues (concurrent to this AfD) - USL Second Division was struck from the WP:FPL essay, as it was not fully-professional. This should affect !voting based on play in USL D2. Icewhiz (talk) 07:18, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Please see the comment by Icewhiz and updated nomination by Levivich. Further discussion may be needed as to whether he does indeed meet NFOOTY (and why), not to mention GNG.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Black Kite (talk) 09:17, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

• Delete: I've just realised the past two AfDs I have voted on are all nominated by the same person with the same rationale, so I have completed a source search for all of them (Feazell, Townsend, Tyrie, Reinberg, Clark and Brown). None of them have received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. As WP:NSPORTS, the parent guideline of WP:NFOOTY, is subservient to WP:GNG, whether they meet one of the criteria at WP:NFOOTY is irrelevant. SITH (talk) 10:39, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
