Ryan Reece

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Found as BLP prod; I found good documentation for his college career, but there are only extremely weak web sources for the remainder. There seems to be COI involved as well, and this seems a little odd in context, but its not my subject  DGG ( talk ) 23:21, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. Yes, the whole thing is rather odd. If he's an international, he's automatically notable, but I can't find any results. It's plausible that he made his debut in 2006 - there was a mass retirement of T&T players. Still looking. StAnselm (talk) 00:18, 22 May 2010 (UTC)


 *  Keep Delete The player's résumé confirms that he played for the Under 21 T&T team. But it appears that he is currently in the senior side of BK Avarta, so that is enough for notability (see below). StAnselm (talk) 01:48, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * How is this enough for notability? BK Avarta are not fully pro, and appearances for youth national teams are generally accepted as not confering notability. Sir Sputnik (talk) 22:43, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I as going on the basis of BK Avarta being fully pro, as the Trinidad connection clearly does not bring any notability. According to List of professional sports leagues, only the Superliga and Division 1 are fully pro (WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues only lists the Superliga) so in the absence of hard evidence that this club is different, I'm changing my vote.

 * Delete - fails WP:ATHLETE on many counts. Youth caps do not confer notability, and he is not listed on T&T's senior 2006 roster; add to this that none of the teams he has apparently played for are in a fully professional league and we have one remarkably non-notable player. GiantSnowman 22:09, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - He has yet to play for a fully professional team, or the Trinidad and Tobago national team, and therefore fails WP:ATHLETE. Due to a lack of significant coverage, he also clearly fails WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 22:41, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Would go as far to say that a fair amount of information on this page is inaccurate, if not even falsified. There are absolutely no sources to verify any of his recent career, and the fact that his name does not appear in the database of any of his recent clubs is surely a clear indication that this person is being misrepresented. This article should be deleted in order to uphold the integrity of wikipedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cmh2910 (talk • contribs) 16:55, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG. --Carioca (talk) 22:36, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Please be aware that this claim is a clear violation of WP:CRYSTAL. We must therefore not treat it as verifiable until it actually is. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:20, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

*Keep. Article will be made verifiable, no need to nominate for deletion —Preceding unsigned comment added by True Reece (talk • contribs) 11:01, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. under dbu rules, a player can be on a full time contract witch makes him a full time contract player. This means Reece is professional. http://www.dbu.dk/law/lawShow.aspx?lawid=36 —Preceding unsigned comment added by True Reece (talk • contribs) 10:54, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Please only !vote once -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:25, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Appears to be embellished somewhat. No evidence for many of the claims, FIFA does not support the claim that he played in a WC qualifier (although they do not always list age group appearances) so no senior appearance evidence. No evidence he played in a professional league. Fails ATHLETE, fails GNG. -- Club Oranje T 09:40, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
