Bobby Thompson (soccer)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Contested PROD by anonymous editor. Unreferenced BLP. When attempting to find references, I came across this, suggesting that he never played in the MLS. There is no other assertion of meeting the general notability guideline. --W F C-- 08:40, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – I searched Google News myself, and was also unable to find proof that he played in MLS; there was a page or two mentioning his signing, but nothing beyond that. It doesn't appear that he meets GNG, either. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 22:20, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
