This player's article was deleted with a clear consensus on the basis that he failed WP:ATHLETE (I !voted delete on this one - my bad!). However, after a spot of hunting around it has come to light that the division he played in (Mexico's Primera División A) is in fact fully professional (agreed here using this newspaper report), and so he actually passes this notability requirement.

Overturn - I withheld my vote pending the outcome of the research on the status of Primera A, and forgot to add a keep vote after the conclusion was reached. The admin properly closed the AfD, but some new information was not reflected in the !votes in the AfD debate. Jogurney (talk) 13:42, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Overturn based on new evidence brought forward here, but emphasizing that the closing admin was correct on the basis of the AFD at the time. Davewild (talk) 17:56, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
