Fails WP:GRIDIRON; played at university (where there was only routine coverage) and has not played since (and fails WP:GNG for post-university coverage). I missed a 2012 PROD, and so because this isn't enough of an IAR situation we get to sit through a pointless AFD... Primefac (talk) 16:24, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree with the nominator. No notability. Cheers! Gianvito Scaringi (talk) 19:16, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete to have notability for college play someone needs to be truly exception. Nottingham was a fully mediocre football player, although he may well have been a much better student than most college football players.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:52, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete modern-day Ivy league quarterbacks have a hard time generating enough press to truly pass WP:GNG or really any other standards for inclusion. I'm not able to find any reason to make an exception.  However, there is NY Daily News article that leads me to question my position, but it is followed up by Columbia Spectator talking about how he has left the team.  Could he be notable for being a washout?  Possibly, as Bob Uecker comes to mind... but even he had obtained and established notability before really creating the "character" of the washed-out ball player.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:01, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
