Delete. Notability is not established in accordance with the general notability guidelines or the topical notability guidelines for athletes. While the article states that the subject had a short career with the Philadelphia Eagles, I have not been able to verify this statement. In order to meet Wikipedia's standards for verifiability and notability, the article in question must actually document that the criterion is true. It is not enough to make vague claims in the article or assert a subject's importance on a talk page or AfD page – the article itself must document notability through independent and reliable sources. At this point, the article is lacking in this area.  Cind. amuse  20:55, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:V per nomination; I am also unable to find any independent sources that verify the claims made in the article. VQuakr (talk) 20:59, 10 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - While sufficient to invalidate CSD-A7, the statement is not backed up, nor does searching reveal any leads.  Catfish Jim  &#38; the soapdish  21:15, 10 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - There is no coverage about him in reliable sources. I can confirm he played for Temple.  But I am unable to confirm that he has played for the Philidelphia Eagles.  A search in the NFL player historical database shows lots of Boyds but no Adam Boyd.  -- Whpq (talk) 14:30, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete high school coaches are rarely notable, and this one does not appear to be an exception.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:59, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
