Never heard of this man before, but the article was an interesting to read. I, however, agree that this article does need some improvements. A picture of some sort would also add a lot to it. Not really sure that this statement fits in the article: "Delaney had a lifelong history of helping others". After that statement only one event is mentioned, the time he tried rescuing the three children. It was a brave act by Delaney none-the-less. Could use more references.

 * I've tried to look for as many resources/references as possible, but sadly this is really all I could come up with. Almost all of them focus on his death, which is terrible, but mainly that is his legacy. He had a very short and promising career, but he set an example for all other athletes. I also looked for a reference with his widow's maiden name, but couldn't find it. I know a picture is missing, but I've been trying to work on that for a while now. Everytime I load a picture up to WP it gets deleted by a bot. '' conman33 (. . .talk)  03:15, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Its alright, if he was notable for some instances as you said he was, its fine. As for the image, that's going to be tricky. In my opinion, you should add a tag to the article saying that an image is needed for the article. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 03:21, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

For future reference
Delaney's father, Woodrow, was a truck driver. Location (talk) 07:51, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Additional source for Joe's franchise record of 193 against Houston.

 * Our article rests heavily on the one book. It looks like it may well be an excellent book (great title!), but we do not link to it through our article.  I think some additional sources will probably help.  FriendlyRiverOtter (talk) 18:07, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Delaney Big Man For Chiefs, Pittsburgh Press, Kansas City (UPI), Monday Nov. 16, 1981, page C-2:

" .  .  .  The second-round draft pick out of Northwest Louisiana  .  .  .  "

" .  .  .  The 193 rushing yeards is the top single-game rushing effort in the NFL this season.  .  .  "

" .  .  .  'Joe is the minimum size for a full-time NFL running back,' said Kansas city Coach Marv Levy of his 5-10, 184-pound dynamo.  'I'm always afraid to look at the final stats to see how many times we used him.  I see 29 (carries) and I've got to shake my head.  .  .  '  .  .  "
