Cornelius Edison (American football)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:BLP of a football player, who has to date only made the practice squad of an NFL team. WP:NGRIDIRON, however, does not confer notability until they've actually played at least one game in the main league, and the sourcing here is not strong enough to get him over WP:GNG as a substitute. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if he gets called up to the big time.

 * Delete. My searches did not turn up significant coverage in multiple, reliable, and independent sources of the type needed to pass WP:GNG. Articles published by the Chicago Bears at chicagobears.com are not independent and therefore do not confer notability. Also, posts from the "Sports Agent Blog" do not confer notability unless the author of the blog posts is a recognized expert in the field. Finally, the subject does not appear to pass WP:NGRIDIRON or WP:NCOLLATH. (He did win the Rimington Award as the top center at the FCS level, and I am not aware of any consensus as to which FCS-level awards qualify under NCOLLATH.) Cbl62 (talk) 16:17, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete A simple news search shows failure of WP:GNG. I can find no other notability measure for inclusion.  What we have here is a college athlete that is attempting to make it at the professional level but has not yet.  Therefore, we must look at the college production.  College football centers rarely meet the notability threshold and I see no reason to make an exception here.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:28, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as there's simply nothing for anything solidly notable, he's not made the official permanent team yet. SwisterTwister   talk  07:39, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
