Comment: Jordan Angeli easily meets the general notability requirement  with numerous articles in major publications. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/11/20/SPGS5FRH4P1.DTL&hw=rusty+simmons&sn=187&sc=581, in which I can quickly see one of the other nominees mentioned

Comment: If they were notable aside from their athletic achievements then I'd argue for inclusion. But the only notability claims they have are for playing soccer, and we have a standard for that at . It has been argued that these players are "sure to have professional careers"; that's all well and good, and when that time comes they'd clearly satisfy . I'm not convinced that the amount and nature of coverage for these athletes is sufficient to warrant an exception from our athlete notability standards

Comment: You are correct, they fail  - I should have made that clear before.  However, this is an inclusion criteria, not an exclusionary one.  Someone can be notable under the |GNG even if they are an amateur.  98% of amateur athletes are not notable - these ladies are in the 2%.  All of them have major accomplishments (such as playing for the US national team) that have been documented by multiple reliable sources

Comment: clearly fail  notability. No real coverage except for trivial sources, so they fail . Youth caps, winning awards, being named player of the match, being named in an ''"All-American"'' team etc etc does not confer notability as it's on a semi-professional or amateur level

Comment: For starters,  is an essay, not even a guideline.  Second, it says (in bold) "Should a person fail to meet these additional criteria, they may still be notable under Wikipedia:Notability."  All of these people have played for the U-23 or U-21 US national team, which by itself is a very strong indication of notability.  Additionally, several of them have won nationally recognized awards.  I did Google News searches on them all and all were covered in 50+ news stories. Yes some of that coverage is game reports and such, but every lady mentioned here had at least 3 stories that were about them rather than about a game they played in

Comment: WP:FOOTYN may be an essay, but  is not, and they all appear to fail it as none of them have played in a fully professional league

Comment: There is no pyramid system in American soccer, and the professional leagues draw from college players. Comparing with soccer/football systems elsewhere in the world is a false analogy. Players meet , which supersedes WP:ATHLETE anyway
