Non-notable footballer (soccer player)- they've only played for the U-17 team, so fail WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTY. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:10, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

  • Delete The team is of such a rank that playing for it does not make one notable, no outside coverage.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:42, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

John Pack Lambert does obviously not know of the large fan base surrounding USL soccer, the league Islanders is a part of. They often play MLS teams in the US open cup, and HCI has over 3,000 fans attending per game. Not only this but pennlive often writes locally about the team and they are famous regionally not nationally, but still worth enough of having player pages, especially when such a player is seen as the next big thing for the club.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:986:8000:2dce:bdbe:1315:bf88:2caf (talkcontribs) 2601:986:8000:2dce:bdbe:1315:bf88:2caf (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

:*Please note that simply having a fan base does not imply notability. If you have not yet done so, please take a look at the inclusion guidelines for football players. If, at some point in time, Kiani makes the transition to a fully professional league, that would the the appropriate time to reassess if he meets article creation requirements. Cheers!

  • Delete - Clearly fails both WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. – Michael (talk) 00:51, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
  • Delete: Me being a soccer fan, I'm happy that the Harrisburg team gets good press and has modest fan support. Except I'm missing the part where this is the Islanders' article. Kiani hasn't actually played for the team yet, according to its website. Nha Trang Allons! 17:15, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
