Article does not fufill requirements of WP:NFootball or WP:GANG Wolfmalfoy (talk) 04:56, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

Article does not fufill requirements of WP:NFootball] or [[WP:GANG. The subject of the article is an underaged athlete who has yet to sign a professional contract or play in a professional or senior national team match. The article was created in response to recent press coverage of the subject's performance in a youth tournament and there has not been widely spread coverage of the subject outside of this. The article is therefore inappropriate at this time.Wolfmalfoy (talk) 04:58, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Scoring at a youth tournament is WP:BLP1E. GiantSnowman 11:28, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - There are citations in this article dating back to at least 2016, so WP:BLP1E is not an appropriate basis to delete. CUA 27 (talk) 01:42, 4 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete - This footballer fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Fbgpwns5277 (talk) 14:53, 30 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep – he passes GNG Joeykai (talk) 15:52, 30 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep - Sargent clearly passes WP:GNG. He is notable. Stating that the article was "created in response to recent press coverage of the subject's performance in a youth tournament" or just because Sargent "scored in a youth tournament" is pure ignorance about the subject in question. Sargent have been a standout for while now and his life and career have been widely covered by media. The article includes several sources and in a quicky search on google any one can find much more. Articles on Sports Illustrated, The Washington Post and Goal, for example. Sargent on Google.--SirEdimon (talk) 22:54, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:GNG. Strange that the nominating editor's account is only 20 hours old with six edits primarily focused on .... Josh Sargent.  Hmlarson (talk) 01:00, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Question for admins Does that seem typical of a brand new editor? (cc )? Hmlarson (talk) 01:18, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, it's an account created only to nominate this article for deletion. Really strange.--SirEdimon (talk) 01:42, 31 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete: It has a lot of sources but looking at them, a few are just match reports and squad selection articles, two of them are "Five things you need to know" which can be done with any player, and some of the sources are not that reputable like the St. Louis soccer website. The only source that makes me believe he could be notable now is the one from US Soccer where he is the youngest scorer in the U20 World Cup but that is it and not enough in my eyes to see him as notable right now. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 19:04, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Check this out: Top Drawer; SI; S&S; Goal.com;--SirEdimon (talk) 19:38, 31 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment I can't make my mind up about this one, this individual has received a lot of coverage recently but most has been about his immediate recent performance and has probably been overhyped due to his age. Almost certainly WP:TOOSOON article will definitely be either recreated or expanded in the future. The subject fails WP:NFOOTY, not sure if it passes WP:GNG or not.

 * Delete - This footballer fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. --Soccer8295 (talk) 14:09, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Response - Instead of merely providing a WP:VAGUEWAVE at policy, perhaps you can explain why you believe that, despite the quantity and quality of sources, this article fails to meet WP:GNG? CUA 27 (talk) 03:13, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Snow Keep per SirEdimon. Quidster4040 (talk) 14:51, 1 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment - Sargent reached another milestone. He joined Jozy Altidore (2007), Eddie Johnson (2003) and Taylor Twellman (1999), becoming one of the USA’s all-time goalscorers at the U-20 World Cup. FIFA.com interviewed Sargent about this and another accomplishments reached by him--SirEdimon (talk) 23:05, 1 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep - If there were some doubt before, the article more clearly now demonstrates that it meets WP:GNG, as I've added a few citations and additional text. The article includes references to several reputable publications, both general media (Washington Post, St. Louis Post Dispatch, Sports Illustrated) and some of the more prominent national US soccer media (Goal, Soccer America).

 * Keep Article easily passes WP:GNG with all of the sources cited. Nominator's behavior is also questionable at best. Smartyllama (talk) 17:00, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - meets WP:GNG with sources in article. Nominator does indeed look odd. Created AFD last month as first edit. Made his last Wikipedia edit 14 minutes later, and hasn't been seen since! Nfitz (talk) 01:03, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
