Talk:Canadian Football League

What happened to the old CFL logo (2002-2015)?
The old logo that was used by the league from 2002 to 2015 seems to have disappeared from the site. Does anyone know what happened to it? Did it get renamed or deleted? For anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about, I'm referring to this logo. AquilaXIII (talk) 06:21, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Canadian football / American football difference in lead section
Saw that a small paragraph has been added to the lead outlining some of the differences between Canadian and American football, but I don't feel this is relevant as the article is on a Canadian football league, not the subject of Canadian football. The latter article contains a similar section in its lead with a link to the same article referenced in this one and does a much better job of outlining the differences between the two sports. I don't think this paragraph is relevant to the CFL article, but wanted to get others thoughts on whether it should remain, be deleted or moved to a different section of the article.

 * In general I agree with you. That said, it's not the most intrusive paragraph. On balance I think it's probably unneeded, though. oknazevad (talk) 20:11, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Deleted. The paragraph confused the league (CFL) with the game (Canadian football). The material is relevant to the game, not the league.--Khajidha (talk) 13:41, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Questions for NFL, CFL projects
Hello, I have a few questions for the CFL and NFL project users

1. For the CFL, WP:NGRIDIRON states that Canadian football players are presumed notable if they played in the Canadian Football League, my question is, are the pre-CFL players notable too, because the league was founded as a merger between the IRFU and WIFU, so it was the same teams and players, just a different name of the league. I was wondering because I created a few Canadian football coach articles and wanted to make sure they would not be deleted (the current ones I have created I have made sure have received a lot of coverage (as some articles pass GNG with for say, 3 or 4 articles with SIGCOV, I made sure they received more than that, see Rev. Father Stanton)) And also, if they are notable, how far back would the notability go?

2. For the NFL, in 1920, some of the NFL teams played against non league opponents, and they were counted as official games (in fact, I've created articles for some of those teams, see Lansing Oldsmobile, Kewanee Walworths, Zanesville Mark Grays, Gary Elks, Columbus Wagner Pirates, Chicago Boosters, Moline Universal Tractors, and those are some of the weirdest team names I've ever seen) this was only in the first season, though. Should the players and head coaches from the non league teams have articles too? As NGRIDIRON says that players in the NFL are notable. However, the only sources for the players would most likely just be a short newspaper article listing the rosters, which is not significant coverage. In addition, these players do not have NFL.com, Pro-Football-Reference.com, or profootballarchives pages. I don't think these players should have articles since there is probably barely anything on them, as even some NFL players from the 20s don't have much on them.

3. Also for the NFL, should the Syracuse Pros players have articles? As they do not have Pro Football Reference pages and the Pros are a debated NFL team.

4. Again NFL, but this is more minor league, I was going to create an article for Dutch Slagle (I already did make an article for him, but it was changed to a redirect because "minor league coaches don't pass notability criteria", but that was good at the time because I barely had any sources), coach of the Wilmington Clippers in 1937, but I'm not sure if he is also George Slagle who played in the NFL in 1926. I think this because it says here that he spent time with Louisville, where George Slagle played. (and he does meet GNG based on my newspaper clippings, see       plus more)
