Was a contested A7 over a month ago. Still no improvement. Also, per comment on talk page, appears to be an WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY. The commonality of the name made research difficult, but could not find any in-depth sourcing to show this particular individual with this name passes WP:GNG, and he doesn't appear to pass WP:NFOOTY.

• Withdrawn by nominator - as per citation provided by Fenix down. Shows that he passes WP:NFOOTY. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:10, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The fact that he is at Spring Arbor University alone shows he is a non-notable sports figure.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:45, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - has played in a senior international game for the BVI per this, meaning he meets WP:NFOOTBALL. Article needs improving, not deleting. @Onel5969 and Johnpacklambert: you might wish to review your !votes. GiantSnowman 19:50, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Question, GiantSnowman - the citation you provided, does that indicate he actually played in the game, or that he was simply on the team's roster for the game? Although the WP article states that he received his first two caps in 2016, that is uncited. I could find no sourcing showing he actually played in the games with BVI. Always ready to reconsider my nom (let alone my !vote), but right now I'm not seeing proof that he passes NFOOTY... unless I simply don't understand the meaning of your link.

Yes, he played in the game. GiantSnowman 07:00, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Passes NFOOTY, has played senior international football, in a fully professional league or in a match in the competition proper (i.e. not qualifying rounds) of a cup competition which involved two teams both from FPLs. This NFT link confirms him as a starter for BVI in their match against Martinique in an official tournament organized by CONCACAF. Fenix down (talk) 11:17, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - player meets WP:NFOOTBALL having played in a senior international fixture for the BVI. Kosack (talk) 12:10, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Passses WP:NFOOTY. Can we close this yet? Smartyllama (talk) 16:00, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Any admin could have closed it since yesterday when I withdrew the nomination based on Fenix down's citation. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 16:03, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
