 * Delete, I've filled the refs, but obviously non-notable. I would have considered speedy if I'd got here first Jimfbleak - talk to me?  07:29, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication of any collage award to satisfy NCOLLATH. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy either NHSPHSATH or widerGNG. Fenix down (talk) 16:00, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep Meets WP:GNG with massive international media coverage - which isn't surprising as he was the number one draft pick in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft. Nfitz (talk) 22:35, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep The title of The Telegraph says it best: "Jack Harrison 'no longer a secret' in England after MLS No 1 draft pick and move to New York City FC" The first sentence in the article goes on to say: "Jack Harrison may be little known in England but that is all about to change."

 * Keep meets WP:GNG.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 08:29, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep easy decision here. Failing NFOOTY does not mean he cannot meet GNG, which he clearly does, as a quick web search demonstrates. For example, major news sites that have published articles about him include:, , , , , . FuriouslySerene (talk) 22:04, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
