Adi Kunalic

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

College football player whose career wasn't notable, see WP:ATHLETE. Co-founder of a perhaps notable company, Opendorse. I redirected the separate articles on Kunalic and his partner Blake Lawrence to Opendorse, but the article author reverted me. I propose that both the Kunalic and Lawrence articles be made redirects to Opendorse. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:32, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

There are many college players on Wikipedia whose careers were not very notable. See Major Culbert, Lydon Murtha and Nate Swift. All had equal or less notable careers than Kunalic. Kunalic is also the first Bosnian born NFL player which is pretty notable. I propose that both articles remain due to their college football careers as well as their entrepreneurship endeavors with successful companies, one of which is a partner with the NFLPA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dwarfinterns (talk • contribs) 19:50, 9 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment Culbert, Lydon Murtha, and Swift each appeared in a regular season professional (NFL/CFL) game, which is our minimum standard for notability. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:57, 9 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment It is not mentioned on Culbert's page that he appeared in game although I do see the link for cfl.com with his stats. Also, wouldn't the fact that Kunalic and Lawrence are both founders of a Sports Marketing company along with their college playing experience be enough to be notable? I just want to do whatever I need to do to have these articles stand, so if you have any recommendations please let me know. Dwarfinterns (talk) 20:06, 9 June 2015 (UTC)


 * No, it wouldn't. I suspect dozens of former college players have been involved in sports marketing. Opendorse itself is only marginally notable. Having three separate articles (one each on Opendorse and on each founder) smacks of promotion/advertising to me. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:51, 9 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Are there any edits that can be made to the page to make it stand, such as removing most of the opendorse and Hurrdat content? Or are they both overall not notable enough and will be deleted anyway? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dwarfinterns (talk • contribs) 01:29, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - nothing shows that WP:NGRIDIRON or WP:NCOLLATH criteria are met.--Rpclod (talk) 04:37, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - No evidence that shows notability. Ashbeckjonathan (talk) 01:02, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Google and Highbeam searches reveal extensive coverage of his startup company including NPR's All Things Considered. If he is the first Bosnian born football player in he NFL, that would be another basis for notability. I have little reason to doubt it, but I haven't found a source to support it.--I am One of Many (talk) 07:34, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * In the absence of significant coverage of the subject in multiple, independent, reliable sources per WP:GNG, the claim of being the first "Bosnian-born player signed by an NFL team," or the like, is irrelevant. We do not have a specific guideline for the "first player of a given ethnicity" in a given sports league, and I hope we never do.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:03, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Comment - References have been added for both Kunalic and Lawrence. I found one for Kunalic that supports the "first bosnian in the NFL" claim.Dwarfinterns (talk) 15:01, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Wikipedia is not a free resume hosting service.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:29, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Non-notable former college football player. Does not satisfy the the specific notability guidelines for college athletes per WP:NCOLLATH (no major national awards), nor professional football players per WP:NGRIDIRON (never played in a regular season NFL or CFL game).  There is also insufficient significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources to satsify the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 16:58, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
 * BTW, if you ever have any doubt as to whether a former college football player played in the NFL or CFL, and thereby satisfed WP:NGRIDIRON, check NFL.com and CFLapedia.com -- both have complete listings of players who ever appeared in and NFL or CFL game.
