Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Nevada|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Nevada. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Questionable notability and questionable sourcing. The sources seem to be two categories: wiki-like sources that provide the background information about him and sources covering his death. The former sources (like celebrityborns, whosthat 360) are unable to be used for prove notability as its user submitted content. The latter sources are shaky. Some of them are India celebrity gossip type pieces. A couple are just reposts of each other's articles. The Independent may be the best source among them and it's mostly just a summary from other sources. In a Google News search filtering out articles from the past few days, I see a few interviews with him with travel blogs, but nothing that truly establishes notability. A Business World article reads like a press release. One article that is gossip rag about a social media conflict he was in. None of these pieces show he is notable.

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:

    People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.

    • If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

I couldn't find any WP:SIGCOV that satisfies me that he meets WP:NFOOTY and therefore fails and also fails WP:GNG. He did have an MLS contract but he never actually played a regular season game for the Seattle Sounders. Servite et contribuere (talk) 14:43, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
