The result was   Speedy Keep. Let's see, a nomination of a clearly notable footballer by a self-identified Irish editor who hasn't edited for 18 months, quickly backed up by a new editor who has only edited Irish football AfDs ... do get a life, the lot of you. Black Kite 23:08, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Footballer fails WP:N as no external links can justify notability for Wikipedia. Has only played u-15 for Canada and only played for a fourth division American team before 2009.Kevinoleary12 (talk) 17:58, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Player fails WP:N and has very little on article to establish notability.--Goodriddance54 (talk) 18:06, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete As already mentioned hard to see where he's notable, and the article doesn't establish that he is professional, which would mean failing WP:ATHLETE.--Leagueofireland (talk) 18:08, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. He's played 18 games in the MLS, which DOES establish him as a professional and therefore passes WP:ATHLETE. He has won a number of awards during his college career which has been covered by media sources such as this and therefore passes WP:N and WP:BIO.

 * Speedy keep as he clearly and quite easily passes WP:ATHLETE. GiantSnowman 18:54, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Contrary to the nom statement, he easily meets WP:N, as the starting goalkeeper for a team in North America's pre-eminent football (soccer) league. A quick Google News search for "frei" and "toronto" yields dozens of relevant results. Oldelpaso (talk) 18:56, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The article needs a lot of improving. It only seems to say what is in the infobox, which is no help.--86.45.168.67 (talk) 20:38, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Source clearly claims he is not professional, thus failing WP:ATHLETE.--Leagueofireland (talk) 21:31, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Please don't !vote more than once, that's against the rules. Also, which source establishes that he isn't professional, as this seems unlikely for a regular starter in the MLS....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 22:40, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep Is this a joke? Some of you must be clearly retarded. he's the starting goalkeeper for Toronto FC Noonehasthisnameithink (talk) 21:35, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
