Anthony Arline

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

He did not show up for the Chargers 2007 training camp, and since then has not been on a team, a practice squad or anything.  Iamawesome  800  00:25, 10 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Appears Arline is on the San Diego Chargers roster. He was also notable enough to create an article initially.  Notability is not temporary, per WP:N. — X96lee15 (talk) 00:41, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Based on WP:ATHLETE you actually have to play professionally. It is not our place to predict that he may some day actually play.  Since he hasn't played professionally yet, merely being on a roster does not appear sufficient for notability.  No other establishments of notability in the article that I could see either. -Verdatum (talk) 00:54, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - First voter (keep) is incorrect. Article should never have been created in the first place and Arline has never been notable. He was a non-notable college player that signed with San Diego as an undrafted free agent and never showed up to camp nearly two years ago. He's only on the Chargers' roster because, since he signed a contract, he's under their control if he were to ever pursue an NFL career. But it appears he has decided not to and to date has never done anything at the professional level to gain notability here.► Chris Nelson Holla! 05:33, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. The threshold for inclusion for athletes is extremely low, considering, and this guy doesn't reach that. --Calton | Talk 05:41, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per Calton this surely fails WP:ATHLETE -- maybe later! JBsupreme (talk) 04:42, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Did some searching, and unable to find any non-trivial coverage in reliable sources. --Delirium (talk) 08:36, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
