The only thing approaching WP:SIGCOV that I could find is [https://theseahawk.org/35464/sports/one-on-one-with-starting-goalkeeper-jacob-randolph/ this], but it is from the student newspaper of one of his colleges, and it was published while he was a student at UNC–Wilmington. So it is WP:LOCAL. As a result, this player appears to fail WP:GNG. Anwegmann (talk) 02:53, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

:Keep - This player made a professional debut, had a notable college career, and has just extended his contract with his current club. I feel like deleting this would be unfair. Shmego (talk) 14:02, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

::Per WP:NSPORTS2022, making a professional debut is meaningless toward notability and so is a college career. Anwegmann (talk) 23:50, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

:::I wasn't participating in said discussion, but have to say the reason to reject automatic notability is because not all generations of football players receive significant coverage, even if they play(ed) at professional level. This might be just a theory. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 14:48, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

::::Not a bad theory, and I think you're right, but it doesn't change the fact that a player simply making his/her professional debut without accompanying WP:SIGCOV fails WP:GNG. Anwegmann (talk) 22:39, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

• Delete - no evidence of notability. Professional debut is irrelevant. If sources are found which show significant coverage please ping me. GiantSnowman 20:49, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
• Delete as nom—The advocate above is not basing their argument on any established Wikipedia standard. Indeed, it runs in clear contravention to WP:NSPORTS2022. Anwegmann (talk) 03:24, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
