Adrian Battles
There is now an entire subsection devoted to Adrian Battles' experience at the Super Bowl, when he was neither a member of the active roster at the time, nor a notable figure during the Super Bowl festivities. There is now seven entire sentences devoted to this non-notable practice squad player and zero sentences about the actual game. I propose that this section be removed as irrelevant to the article.

 * The AfD discussion was closed on the premise that the content could and would be merged here. If that is not done, then the Adrian Battles article should be restored.  He is not non-notable.  For the reasons set forth in the AfD, he is, in fact, notable based on his collegiate football career, his time with the Vikings and Packers, and the substantial news coverage that was given to his career.

 * The AfD was closed as "redirect," not "merge." If he was notable, the AfD would have been closed as "keep" or at the very least, "merge."  Eagles   24/7  (C)  22:20, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I !voted redirect, but should have changed to merge after Cbl62 pointed out the sources.—Bagumba (talk) 01:18, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I added the content as a result of the AfD for Battles . While I did not !vote to keep, there is information that needs to be preserved.  The text might need to be shortened, it was a first pass cut-n-paste, and I couldn't think of a better placement.  Feel free to improve, but the issue is more that  text is needed on the Super Bowl here, not that all mention of Battles should be removed.—Bagumba (talk) 22:01, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
 * WP:CANTFIX, a subsection of WP:PRESERVE, points out that undue weight should be removed, which includes trivia (which is what this should be considered since it is not directly relevant to this article by any means). Maybe there could be a line at Super Bowl XLV under the Super Bowl pregame news and notes subsection, where the information is a little more relevant.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  22:20, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
 * He was employed by the Packers in 2010, so he is most relevant here, while he would be trivial for the general Super Bowl XLV article.  The question is how much weight, which is exaggerated by the current lack of text for the Super Bowl in this article.  However, there is no deadline, and there is no reason to fully remove text that has some place (though perhaps less weight) in  a finished article.  I've tagged the sections for expansion and undue, so readers of the article will be aware of current concerns when reading and perhaps edit to improve. —Bagumba (talk) 00:44, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * It is trivial for this article, too, since one of their practice squad players being featured in two pictures and being jokingly referred to as a good luck charm is not relevant to this article.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  00:58, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I moved the text here to see what the consensus would be to how much detail (if any) was warranted. I think he deserves at least a one sentence mention, unless consensus says his being on the roster listing is all that is warranted. —Bagumba (talk) 01:16, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
