Zak Downes

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested by the article's creator based on a single interview and Downes' spell at Arizona United. However, one source is never sufficient for general notability, and he never actually appeared in a match for Arizona, so his time their does not satisfy WP:NFOOTBALL.

 * Keep - as well as the interview, other sources indicate his notability including 24 GOALKEEPERS UNDER 24: USMNT PROSPECTS and D2 Men's Soccer: 5 Outstanding Freshmen Who Made Their Mark in 2014. He has also played for the US U20 and U19 teams as well according to thisDas osmnezz (talk) 17:40, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 11:05, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played or managed senior international football nor played or managed in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Only seeing that one interview as evidence of GNG.
