Initially declined as a draft by Number 57 for "...not yet shown to meet notability guidelines" and then accepted without improvement by a paid editor now blocked for deception. The article subject still does not qualify under either the WP:GNG or the applicable SNG WP:NFOOTY. Examining the sources in the article for the former shows that they do not meet all three prongs of significance, independence, and reliability. Most importantly, the sources that are significantly about this athlete are not independent (being mostly from his college team) and the independent ones are not significantly about the article subject or only mention him in passing. Turning to NFOOTY, they have not played in any competitive senior international match nor in any fully professional league. Their only applicable experience is with Philadelphia Fury, a team in the fourth version of the American Soccer League, which never achieved US Division 3 sanction and was instead sanctioned by the non-professional United States Adult Soccer Association. WP:BEFORE does not disclose any sources that would assist either notability guideline and no logical merger or redirect target exists. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 17:42, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - does not pass GNG as he has nothing more than passing mentions in secondary sources Spiderone 10:34, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
