C. J. Powell

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable semi-pro and former small college American football player. Subject does not satisfy the specific notability guidelines of WP:NCOLLATH (no major national awards, etc.) or WP:NGRIDIRON (never played in a regular season game in the NFL, CFL or other top pro league). Fails the requirements of the general notability guidelines for lack of in-depth coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources per WP:GNG. Linked footnote appears to be the only significant coverage of the subject in an independent source, and it's from a small-town Ohio newspaper that's the hometown paper for the subject's college. Although there appear to be multiple persons named "C. J. Powell," none of them appear to be notable, and our subject's coverage in other sources does not appear to be independent of his college or other temporary teams, and appears to be WP:ROUTINE to trivial in nature.

 * Delete. Cannot find coverage of this individual in reliable sources sufficient to satisfy WP:GNG.  A single blurb in a small-town newspaper doesn't do it.  For a modern player, more than this is needed to show notability. Cbl62 (talk) 04:02, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
