Kyle Hall

Player is a new draftee who has not yet played a professional game, and therfore fails WP:FOOTYN and WP:ATHLETE --JonBroxton (talk) 18:33, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I am finding it annoying having to delete draftee articles. Can someone tell these people that they should only create their articles once they start playing MLS games. Govvy (talk) 19:17, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Take a look at the roster areas for all MLS teams, and the start of each 'round' for the 2009 MLS SuperDraft. It clearly says to not create articles for new draftees. Not sure what else we can do? --JonBroxton (talk) 19:26, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment let's start (yet another) disucssion at WP:FOOTBALL about this. Giant Snowman 19:30, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Simply deleting articles for players because they are recent MLS draftees doesn't make sense; some are notable, some aren't. Though there's a big difference between the number 2 overall pick, and the number 38 pick. This player hasn't even been signed by Toronto. I'm having a hard time seeing why this article should be here. Nfitz (talk) 20:28, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Awww, Gowy and JonCockston are sad they lost the Sam Cronin debate. If you're getting so annoyed deleting these articles, don't delete them you stupid pigfucker. "Can someone tell these people that they should only create their articles once they start playing MLS games." That's why Steve Zakuani and Sam Cronin have articles. Dumb bitch. (unsigned comment by 74.14.134.199 who appears to have had their 24-hour block for persistent vandalism expire).

- Comment Isn't intelligent discourse and respect for others fun? --JonBroxton (talk) 17:39, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply Thanks for the insult but I try to use as much logic and correctness as possible. However Sam Cronin was a special case because multiple non-registered users voted to keep and all seemed to have the same profanity level as you, shame that you have to bring down the national average of Americans.

Delete. This player is unsigned and there is no indication that he will be signed anytime soon. Although there is some media coverage of his third-round draft selection by Toronto FC in the recent draft, it seems secondary to the discussion of the 3 first-round picks, failing the general notability requirements in WP:N. Nfitz (talk) 05:08, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Has yet to appear at a fully professional league, and has acheived nothing of note in his college years. It's also worth noting that the CBC link doesn't mention Kyle Hall at all, only a Jeremy Hall. If this article gets recreated as a result of him making his pro debut, this is an issue that needs addressing. Bettia (bring on the trumpets!) 12:20, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Well to be fair, the article is referring to Kyle Hall, when it says Jeremy. During the broadcast of the Draft he was misidentified as Jeremy Hall in the overlaying graphics - even though Jeremy Hall was an American had been drafted 2 rounds earlier. However it speaks to Kyle Hall's non-notability, that CBC hasn't fixed this error 4 weeks after the article came out! Nfitz (talk) 05:43, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless we can find multiple sources for him, as in this Afd request. DeMoN2009 17:34, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom - and let me say this case is different than other MLS draftees, the player seems to be only on trial at Toronto FC, so he is not even contracted with them, that gives him even less notability. --Angelo (talk) 18:34, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
