Anthony Manzo-Lewis

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NGRIDIRON. I found three featured articles from a local newspaper in New Jersey but not much else outside of routine transactions. Played professionally in the Alliance of American Football, but that is a minor league.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  18:05, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep Manzo-Lewis played for the Memphis Express of the Alliance of American Football, a fully professional (albeit short-lived) league that would appear to satisfy WP:NGRIDIRON clause 1 (see this source) for game appearance details), even if it isn;t explicitly listed. It was not a minor or semi-professional league and is not explicitly excluded in clause 2. If the AAF does not meet clause 1, more clarification is needed in NATHLETE to exclude any players whose only professional experience is in the AAF. Alansohn (talk) 19:57, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I realize this might not be the appropriate venue for this type of discussion, but here are a few sources indicating the AAF was a minor league: "The AAF Failed Because All Minor League Football Does", "AAF executives thought there was a 2-3 year plan to be an NFL minor league". The majority owner, one week before folding the league, said "If the [NFL] players union is not going to give us young players, we can't be a development league" .

 * Delete Lacking substantial enough coverage to pass GNG. In January I tried to establish whether or not the AAF would fall under NGRIDIRON or not but nobody took part in the discussion and no other attempt at creating a consensus has been made since.
