Does not meet
WP:BLPPROD requirement of articles containing "no sources in any form". However, it does not meet the requirement of "All BLPs must have at least one source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article". The only reference listed is dead.

Delete - although the nominator is incorrect in claiming that there are no sources which verify the information in the article, it is about a soccer player who has only played a few matches in the USL Championship, and with a club that is an outlier in terms of lack of attendance and is simply a "B" team for its MLS affiliate (e.g.,
[1] and
[2]). There is no significant coverage of this soccer player in online sources (everything is routine match reports or signing announcements). While the article may appear to narrowly pass
WP:NFOOTBALL, it comprehensively fails
WP:GNG so it fails the spirit of NFOOTBALL.

That argument is usually reserved for players whose professional careers are or have ended, not an 18 year old at the beginning.

Keep - passes
WP:NFOOTY. As multiple other !voters have stated the subject is relativly young and still playing.

Delete "young and still playing" is not a reason to keep an article about an individual. Any "news" article I can find online seems to be either transactional data or put out by the club itself and therefore not being a third party article. I see a failure of the
general notability guideline. As a 15-year resident of the Kansas City area, I'm shocked to learn that there is something called the "Swope Park Rangers" who are a soccer team. After a little research, I learned that the
Kansas City Star calls the team a "development team for Sporting Kansas City." They aren't even notable in their own market.--

Keep The subject meets
WP:NFOOTBALL, as others have said. The nominator does not seem aware of the requirements to perform all steps of
WP:BEFORE.
