Akilah Lacey

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Drafted for a proposed football league that was suppose to begin in 2007. Fails WP:BIO and WP:ATHLETE; no coverage in reliable sources to prove he passes WP:N.  Grsz 11  22:36, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Delete both ...
 * Akilah Lacey - Seems to fail WP:BIO: despite good deal of media coverage, all I see are brief mentions (mostly "caught pass for XX yards" type stuff), nothing qualifying as significant coverage. Closest I found is this article in the The Idaho Statesman, where he gets a couple paragraphs, but the article focuses on a teammate. Fails the additional criteria of WP:ATHLETE on grounds of playing college football at Idaho State, which is Division I FCS, therefore not highest amateur level; and never played in professional league either as far as I can tell. The AAFL has apparently been delayed again, until 2010.
 * John Riley Kirk - Fails WP:BIO, I literally, found nothing on this guy in news sources, not even a brief mention. Team Texas bio link doesn't work. Strikehold (talk) 03:38, 29 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete both The league was supposed to be and hasn't happened yet so this is an easy delete. You might want to nuke the roster templates as well.-- Giants27 T/  C  12:46, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
