 * Delete - fails GNG and NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 11:28, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Draftify - given that he doesn't yet meet GNG or NFOOTBALL, the article shouldn't be kept but there is a fair chance that he may debut for DC United or Trinidad soon so, for that reason, I'd support draftifying Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 16:48, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Draftify - though I believe Michael DeShields is notable in some aspects I do concede that while looking up information on him I have not found him to have played in a professional-level competition or international match yet, which I believe is Wikipedia's threshold for "notability" for a soccer/football player. So I can get behind holding off for now but bring it back if he does play a pro-level match. Pushpaizol (talk) 05:07, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, meets both NCOLLEGE and WP:NFOOTBALL through non-routine coverage and sources. Quidster4040 (talk) 07:11, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
 * He meets neither. And I assume you meant WP:NCOLLATH which he also fails if you actually read the criteria. --BlameRuiner (talk) 07:16, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment Does not yet meet any WP notability criteria. He may well meet at least WP:NFOOTY soon, but he may not.  I would lean towards temporarily leaving a draft copy somewhere instead of complete removal of the article. Papaursa (talk) 23:45, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
