The subject appears to not have played more than a few years in the third tier of American soccer. WP:GNG Raskuly (talk) 06:12, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I think that he probably meets WP:GNG with the combination of his pro soccer career followed by his coaching career. The USL-2 is a bit of a fringe case here as it merged into the USL Pro around the time that this guy's career ended, many of the sides were professional including his. A few quick results: [1], [2], [3] (played in the US Open Cup). Mountaincirque^talk 10:10, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Transfermarkt is not a reliable source, and in any event databases are not SIGCOV. Giant Snowman 11:33, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you play in the third tier and you're good enough to get regular game time you're likely to make appearances in the U.S. Open Cup, so playing in the U.S. Open Cup is not notable. Raskuly (talk) 13:54, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Fails in WP:GNG. Svartner (talk) 16:07, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete—Above sources are either WP:PASSING or database, and not even a reliable database at that. Clearly fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG. Anwegmann (talk) 19:47, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
