Justin Williams (American football)
I've looked at this article, and unfortunately I am not seeing any claim to fame that passes either our general notability guideline or our notability standards for American/Canadian football. The latter requires the player to have played in the Arena Football League. Unfortunately, Mr. Williams played in the Indoor Football League, which is insufficient for our standards. Do you have anything else that might make this person notable? --Hammersoft (talk) 14:49, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Could you respond please? I note you are continuing to edit the article, and added that he played for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. If so, that would be enough to make him notable for our purposes here. But, I can find no evidence anywhere that he ever actually played for this team. Wikipedia's rosters for this team over the last ten years shows nothing for him much less the 2009 roster, and the CFL database (admittedly, not official, but still..) shows no entry for a Justin Williams . Help?? --Hammersoft (talk) 15:39, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I also can find no source indicating he was a 2006 All American football player. Would you please respond???? --Hammersoft (talk) 15:50, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm looking at the NJCAA stats for the 2005-06 season and the 2006-07 season. I find no mention whatsoever for Justin Williams. If he was a consensus all american for junior college, he would show up there. PLEASE RESPOND. If you fail to respond you leave me no choice but to place this article for speedy deletion under WP:CSD. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:57, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * You've left me no choice but to tag the article for speedy deletion under WP:CSD. I've begged you to communicate with me, but to date you have failed to do so, nor provide any reason to believe this person meets/exceeds the standards I linked to above. This article will be deleted. If you think a case can be made to include this article, then I recommend you create a draft article and submit it to WP:AFC. But, I caution you that SOME evidence that he meets WP:NGRIDIRON must be provided. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:48, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

I had a look, but I gave up and deleted it - as far as I can tell it just looks like the biography of a typical high school / college student. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  20:43, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I looked around too, and could not find anything sufficient to clear WP:NGRIDIRON. I was hoping Coachstevens might know something more than we know, and could find it, but unfortunately no. --Hammersoft (talk) 14:52, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
