Player is non-notable soccer player. Has never played professional soccer at any level (the CSL and PDL are not a professional leagues), no relevant collegiate soccer experience. Player fails WP:GNG and WP:FOOTYN JonBroxton (talk) 03:50, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Keep- CSL is a professional soccer league in Canada. Also found this article by The London Free Press  Traxs 7   (Talk) 04:28, 12 May 2010 (UTC) Removing my comment  Traxs    7   03:35, 15 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment - The CSL is not a fully professional league, as per WP:FPL. --JonBroxton (talk) 05:07, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Is it? The source Traxs has provided seems to suggest otherwise, and the reference at WP:FPL indicating that it is not fully pro is a broken link. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:35, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The first link states "The CSL is Canada’s only professional soccer league with close to 300 players, the majority of which are on professional contracts playing for the league’s 10 teams in two divisions." - it suggests not all the players are professional.

 * Question is this the same Kevin Zimmerman that plays for the Kansas City club?--Paul McDonald (talk) 00:39, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * If by the Kansas City club you mean the Kansas City Wizards, there is nobody called Kevin or Zimmermann playing for that team. --JonBroxton (talk) 00:48, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Here's the [search result, the article is not in the top three links but on the first page. SOmething in the KC Star that requires a pay to visit... is there a team called the "Kansas City Attack" ?--[[User:Paulmcdonald|Paul McDonald]] (talk) 14:12, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
 * When that article was published, this Kevin Zimmerman was 12. The KC Attack is a kids club according to this.  So it might be the same guy but probably has no bearing on his notability..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:22, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
