Bo Over the Top

Draftify. Previously PRODed and refunded, but a WP:N(E) with no claims to notability, no inline citations, and is little more than an article-ification of a box score. microbiology Marcus (petri dish&bullet;growths) 21:16, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: American football and Alabama. Shellwood (talk) 22:34, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - microbiology Marcus - BeanieFan11 just reopened this a few days ago. I think it can wait a few days. There's plenty of sources - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.KatoKungLee (talk) 01:29, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Would you say draftify is a possibility here? I've edited my nom to clarify. I just couldn't draftify myself without consensus because of the policy at WP:DRAFTIFY and the article history. microbiology Marcus (petri dish&bullet;growths) 15:15, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree with the draftify option, since while this subject appears to probably be notable it is not evident in the article per the current sources. Willing to help improve the article if it is moved there. Let&#39;srun (talk) 15:28, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm not going to vote but sources don't have to be present in the article for it to be notable. Thanks. ~WikiOriginal-9~  ( talk ) 15:36, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The reason I had requested undeletion is that there appears to be a large amount of coverage of this, e.g. ESPN feature, Yahoo, 1819 News, AL.com (again), Bleacher Report, 247Sports, Touchdown Alabama, then plenty of book mentions and Newspapers.com mentions.

 * Draftify. The issue here really isn't notability but editorial judgment as to when we should split content from an athlete's biography. Our Bo Jackson article includes a discussion of "Over the Top". It should be IMO a rare case where we exercise our editorial judgment to split a legendary play from the player's biography. E.g, Babe Ruth's called shot, Franco Harris' Immaculate Reception, Dwight Clark's The Catch, or Maradonna's The hand of God goal. I have doubts as to whether Bo Over the Top rises to that level. Draftification will allow interested editors to work on the topic and demonstrate that such treatment is truly warranted. Cbl62 (talk) 04:16, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
