Rafael Diaz (soccer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Concern was despite making a U.S. Open Cup appearance for Orlando in 2014, he still fails WP:NFOOTBALL because it came against an amateur side. He also fails WP:GNG because he hasn't received significant coverage. PROD contested by IP user without providing a reason. – Michael (talk) 01:38, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

– User:Elopez76 -keep has signed two pro contracts, has played an official first team match with his first club in a federation sanctioned cup competition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.17.108.183 (talk) 13:27, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Did you even read what I said? A player does meet WP:NFOOTBALL by playing in a domestic cup match IF the match features two fully pro teams.  While Orlando was a fully pro team, Ocala Stampede was not.  And signing a professional contract does nothing. – Michael (talk) 00:27, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

-Yes I read everything you wrote and I disagree, I believe since he is a professional player and played in an official match for a fully professional team that should qualify him as notable. I find it ridiculous that college basketball players and other collegiate athletes can qualify yet soccer players did not.

 * WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid argument. His one match was against a PDL team, which is not fully pro so he still fails WP:NFOOTBALL. – Michael (talk) 00:27, 3 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 17:43, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - He has not played in a fully pro league or received significant coverage, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT and WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 19:46, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - Another game sat on the bench today. Ah, the lot of the 2nd string keeper on a reserve squad. Nfitz (talk) 21:11, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
