• Delete. He only appears to have played at an amateur level so far, and other than his transfer to Everton he has yet to acheive anything of note (simply signing for a professional team isn't enough to establish notability as there is no guarantee he will ever play for them). This article can be recreated if he makes a first team appearance.

• Delete per nom. I have been working on getting the article up to date and properly formatted so it can easily be re-created if/when he makes his Everton debut. --JonBroxton (talk) 16:05, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - I agree that the article doesn't meet qualifications for a professional soccer player, but as this is an extremely rare case of an amateur player from California being signed to a Premiership team without going through the MLS first (and it's well-documented with many, many supporting sources), I don't think it should be held to the standards of a normal soccer player article. It's rare. It's new. It's a dream for me, and a dream for you. 216.205.234.2 (talk) 18:49, 11 May 2009 (UTC)I know I don't have a username, and I'm sorry. Call me Ishmael.[reply]

    • Sure! http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_5267150,00.html, http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/blog.php?b=5183, http://blogs.nypost.com/sports/soccer/archives/2009/05/unheralded_anto.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.205.234.2 (talk) 01:33, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • The Skysports link and the New York Post are reliable sources with significant coverage, but Bigsoccer is a forum. If you or soemone else posts one more reliable source with significant coverage, my !vote will be changed to keep.
