List of current North American Soccer League commentators

Please bear in mind that this is not an all-time list but a list of current commentators; it is therefore in need of constant updating and is probably out of date already. I can't see any evidence of WP:LISTN and it fails on WP:LISTCRUFT #1, #3, #11, #12 amongst others. Spiderone 09:01, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
- The list of commentators is current as of the end of the season. It meets notability guidelines in that it provides information for a major sports league. It provides multiple resources showing the accuracy, and it can't be updated until the next season is scheduled to begin, in March when new information would begin. If it fails all the items you mention, then so does the list of NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB announcers.

- WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS; for the record, I think that those lists you mention are also not notable and fail WP:LISTN. I'm nominating this first as football is more my area of knowledge compared to those. Depending on the outcome of this AfD, I'm happy to nominate those as well.
