Adam Edwards III

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable person. The article claims that Edwards is a former player for the Dallas Cowboys, but there are no reliable sources to verify this claim. The article also serves as an ad for Edwards' "Franchapreneur" career. (Edwards presently works as a consultant helping others start up with franchising opportunities.) Available sources are not reliable. Even the nflplayerengagement.com site which touts Edwards' "Franchapreneur" business cannot verify which if any NFL team Edwards played for.

 * Delete. There is no record at either nfl.com or pro-football-reference.com of him having played in the NFL. (This brief transaction notice indicates he was released by the Cowboys in August 2000, before the 2000 NFL season began.) Accordingly, he does not pass under WP:NGRIDIRON. Nor does he pass WP:NCOLLATH as he did not win any major awards as a college defensive back at Oklahoma State. Finally, he does not appear to have garnered significant coverage, based on a search of newspapers.com, to pass WP:GNG. Cbl62 (talk) 15:10, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I note also that the article was created by a new single-purpose account whose only activity has been creation of the Adam Edwards article. I am pinging that user so he/she can speak to any potential conflict and/or relationship with the subject of the article. Cbl62 (talk) 15:16, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete as it stands now, I cannot see passing WP:GNG from what is provided. There may be sources I cannot find... --Paul McDonald (talk) 23:20, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
