Fails WP:Athlete...college athletes don't qualify. Recreated multiple times, bringing here for more input and possible salting. LegoTech &middot;(t)&middot;(c) 00:25, 23 June 2008 (UTC) Note Has been in Maldshal's userspace since March
 * Keep-Obviously you have no patience. I plan to further expand the article.   Meldshal42   (talk)  00:29, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. He's doing good, but doesn't meet WP:N. If he goes pro, then recreate at that time. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 00:57, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. fails WP:Athlete. --Killerofcruft (talk) 01:07, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Agreement on WP:Athlete - the lack of referenced sources doesn't help, either. Ecoleetage (talk) 02:31, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Yup, it's clearly stated in WP:ATHLETE - Competitors who have competed in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, golf or tennis. - unless this athlete gains notability through the generic third-party sources method or goes pro to meet this criteria, he has no notability and therefore should not be included in Wikipedia. No prejudice to merging to a relevant article, I personally can't find one though. Calvin 1998 (t-c) 05:48, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. fails WP:Athlete. If he becomes notable, article can be recreated. Expansion can be done outside the mainspace for now.Yobmod (talk) 11:01, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep for now. As Meldshal said, wait for this to be expanded. I agree that this does fail WP:Athlete right now, but give Meldshal the time she needs to expand this into a decent article. I'm an Editorofthewiki[citation needed] 20:40, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Agree with above re: Wp:Athlete. Lade compares strongly to some current professional lax dmen (esp. some of the more athletic ones), but until he turns pro, or wins a major award (like the Schmeisser Award) he does not meet wikipedia notability standards. This the general standard used by WP:LAX -Mitico (talk) 12:47, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * After considering it more, I still think notablility not established. My pause was: being a member of the 2008 U-19 Team USA enough to cause notabilty?  My first response was no.  However, I decided to look at other sports.  Here is the US U-20 soccer team roster, and while some of these players are pro, others are not.  Of the college athletes only two have articles: Ofori Sarkodie which is up for deletion & Andre Akpan who may have senior experience(?).  So the analysis of WP:Athlete by others above is correct, IMO.  Mitico (talk) 16:27, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
