Tim Melia

Player does not sufficiently satisfy WP:ATHLETE in that they have not played a game for a fully professional league, noting that soccer is a professional sport. In addition, player does not sufficiently satisfy the notability criteria guidelines as outlined by WP:FOOTY in that they do not play for a professional team, have played in a competitive fixture, or have senior international caps/Olympics caps.

 * Delete and recreate if and when he makes his professional debut. The club's official site confirms he has yet to make his debut. Bettia   (rawr CRUSH!)  09:32, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as failing WP:ATHLETE, as well as no significant coverage to warrant inclusion under WP:N. – Toon (talk)  23:46, 18 September 2008 (UTC) Keep - this source confirms that he has now made an appearance in a fully professional league, thereby passing WP:ATHLETE. –  Toon (talk)  21:31, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

 * KEEP - By OP - I was the OP and I rescind my AfD nomination as Tim Melia appeared in the USL 1 game v. Miami FC on 17 Sept 2008. This makes him a full professional and therefore should be kept in wikipedia as he meets the requirements now. GauchoDude (talk) 20:07, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
