Casey Martin (Football)

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

Does not meet WP:NSPORT for pro football: didn't play in a CFL game (retired before the season started), his college football honors are in Conference USA honor roll mostly, which isn't listed in Template:College football award navbox. He does have some local news articles. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 05:56, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sun Herald is local to Mississippi, and Ottawa Citizen to where he was going to play for CFL until he didn't. USA Today's article is in the context of his reception record for just the school. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 07:25, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note his college career section would have to be completely rewritten so as to not be a copyvio of his Southern Miss profile anymore. A lot of the content is now removed. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 07:31, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. He may have been viral during the draft but he never played professionally and no reason was given. Could it be he never made the team?Postcard Cathy (talk) 18:42, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

He retired before he could play in a CFL game so he doesn't qualify for WP:NGRIDIRON and doesn't seem to meet WP:NCOLLATH either. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:27, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
