Jonathan Lewis (soccer player)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

PROD contested by article creator in the basis that this player has been selected for the US men's national team - except of course 1) he hasn't and 2) that's not enough to meet WP:NFOOTBALL, you need to actually play. Also fails WP:GNG. Giant Snowman 13:02, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - this article is inferior to one in my sandbox - I suggest the two are merged in my userspace, and them moved to the correct article title of Jonathan Lewis (soccer) when he does play professionally/internationally. Giant Snowman 13:04, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - the player currently fails WP:NFOOTBALL having not played in a fully professional league or for a senior national side and does not have enough significant coverage to pass WP:GNG. GiantSnowman has an article prepared in his sandbox so, as the user suggested, merge into there until he meets notability requirements then move back into mainspace.

Merge - to GiantSnowman's sandbox as stated above. Would avoid the loss of data while at the same time upholding the notability requirements and appeasing all parties. Inter&anthro (talk) 03:31, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - to GiantSnowman's sandbox per above. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 21:43, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
