Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Patrick Nyarko
First of all, there are three fully professional leagues in the US.  The first is not "the" Major League -- it's Major League Soccer.  There also exists USL-1 and USL-2.  Secondly, you are forgetting about , which trumps WP:ATHLETE.  Since Nyarko has received significant press coverage, he's notable regardless of what WP:ATHLETE says.  This is just case #34431413 in the long list of misunderstandings of the way American sport works.  Since the "academy system" is only in its infancy in the US, the notability rules laid out by WikiProject Football don't function very well for US players
