non-notable NFL player. Therapyisgood (talk) 19:28, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, American football, England, and Massachusetts. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 19:32, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep no policy-based rationale was provided for deletion. No evidence that WP:BEFORE was conducted. LEPRICAVARK (talk) 23:08, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- What evidence do you have that he's notable? It's not on me to prove notability, it's on you. Therapyisgood (talk) 06:08, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  You seem awfully eager to get articles deleted and awfully unwilling to put an actual ounce of effort into demonstrating that the articles warrant deletion. Are you quite certain that you are actually here to build an encyclopedia? I have my doubts. LEPRICAVARK (talk) 06:32, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural keep, reason for deletion does not mention a specific policy. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 02:19, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Failed (and currently fails) WP:GNG. Therapyisgood (talk) 06:08, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. There is no SIGCOV in the article and none has been presented here. I searched, including in the archives at Newspapers.com, with various versions of his name but found nothing of significance. A redirect to List of Canton Bulldogs players is also acceptable in my opinion. Alvaldi (talk) 09:25, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
keep having played in 4 games of the NFL, he meets the standards that we typically show as a keep result. If nothing else, I lean on the policy WP:IAR and do what we always do.--Paul McDonald (talk) 23:10, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a pioneering player in the NFL. Four games with the Canton Bulldogs certainly is notable. And per above discussion. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:56, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: 4 games in the NFL makes a person notable. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:15, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Off topic

For the closing admin, see this where User:Randy Kryn was canvassed by BeanieFan11 to vote where the AFDs were "close". here is the original diff. Therapyisgood (talk) 18:52, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- And please see here where he ASKED me to – when a user asks someone to show them a list of AFDs, it is not canvassing. BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:01, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - Request editor Therapyisgood strike accusation of canvassing as stated at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sam Babcock. Not canvassing, just confusion.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:39, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, per IAR (although a bit more weak than some of the other noms), as an original NFL member with four games. I see the potential for something at least somewhat decent to be developed out of this (at least something like this in length), and if kept I will. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:02, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The notability requirement for sports subjects is the GNG. If significant coverage of the subject as a person are not available, then they aren't notable, period. We already determined this via community consensus regarding NSPORTS months ago. Unless someone can present the required significant coverage, this article should be deleted. I would suggest that the closer actively ignore any Keep arguments made above that are based on claims of "number of games played", which is not a notability requirement. If such an action is not heeded by the closer, then I expect I will have to take this to DRV afterwards. Silverseren^C 01:35, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
