In removing the speedy tag, the creator added just enough of a notability assertion to avoid a speedy deletion, unfortunately not enough to ensure the long-term survival of the article. The USA Today biography on this man is empty, and Google returns little else. Delete.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 00:08, 29 July 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Can it be verified that he's in the college football hall of fame? That would seem to me to be fairly strong indication of notability. ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:23, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Apparently not. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 21:17, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete NN per WP:ATH. Borderline speedy A7. Jonathan Hall (talk) 19:58, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep only if article is cleaned up and properly sourced through normal editing. His career seems to have received some press. MichaelQSchmidt (talk) 02:59, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Coverage seems to be local. ChildofMidnight (talk) 04:23, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete: The coverage is local. Fails WP:BIO. Joe Chill (talk) 01:11, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete I, the inclusionist of all things college football and defender of deletions, have done research and found that this guy has done basically nothing but suit up.  He's made the roster a couple of times, at least on the web.  Not finding any actual things he's done in games--finding lots of statistics columns with zeroes in them.  Plus, the article says he's now sitting out and working at a UPS facility.  Tail end of article reads as retaliatory against the school.  This is not the kind of article that Wikipedia wants and it should be removed pronto.--Paul McDonald (talk) 04:22, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
