Delete. Extreme case of sportscruft, some people think that anyone associated with sports is notable. What's next, biography articles for factory works making apparel worn by sportspeople? Anyway, more seriously, fails WP:NJOURNALIST too. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:41, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Thomas is a known sportscasting hosting ESPN's premier soccer studio show in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. For me, that is reason enough to keep his wiki page. --Nigelnu (talk) 11:53, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

— Note to closing admin: Nigelnu (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this XfD.

Delete the only sourcing is to his employers website. Nigelnu's argument does not work. If hosting this show was so important we would have outside sources discussing the fact he does so, including indepth coverage of him, which we don't have.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:20, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
