Person only played at the amateur level and did not generate any coverage there that would satisfy WP:GNG. The article itself provides, I believe, enough evidence to justify the claim of non-notability. Drmies (talk) 02:59, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Delete - I was having a difficult time trying to comprehend even who Joe Watson is, the page would have to be completely re-written to be understandable. He does not appear to meet notability criteria some mentions of a Joe Watson scoring a goal etc. but I can't even verify if this is the same person because I could not understand the article in the first place. This is what I found [http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19990507&slug=2959247], [http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19990323&slug=2950992], [http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19980325&slug=2741512], [http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=20011118&slug=susoccer18], [http://www.seattlepi.com/othersports/39152_nwcoll17.shtml], [http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=ST&s_site=dfw&p_multi=ST&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0ECEAFE778AFA64D&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM], [http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-76270468.html], [http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-64117472.html] but even this just shows that Watson was a talented high school athlete and played for a local university but never went on to coach a major team or on to a professional soccer league (failing WP:ATHLETE). -Marcusmax(speak) 03:44, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Delete although with the comment that as an All-American if he played a different sport there'd be people queuing up to say we should keep it. As it is he clearly fails to meet the notability criteria. Blue Square Thing (talk) 21:30, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Delete I'm open to finding an All-American notable, especially if we can find other coverage, but I don't see any evidence of either one. Besides failing ATHLETE, he doesn't get notability in any other way, either. Nyttend (talk) 00:05, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Delete. Non-notable football player. --Carioca (talk) 20:00, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
Delete non notable has not achieved any significance in football and doesn't really seem likely to.--ClubOranje^T 15:16, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
