Ed Doyle (American football)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC #5. I have searched but did not find WP:SIGCOV about him. The search is complicated as the name is common. For example, this is another (slightly older) Edward J. Doyle, who also coincidentally attended Canisius. Cbl62 (talk) 17:06, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
 * note - There is some confusion here. There is yet another Edward J. Doyle (Eddie Doyle (American football)) who has the same date and place of death but a different birth date. Cbl62 (talk) 17:18, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Died in Morocco aged 37? BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:19, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Guessing it was confusing with the other Doyle per above comment. PFR says he died in Canada in 1997, aged 91. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:21, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
 * That seems to be the answer. Cbl62 (talk) 17:33, 4 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep. Having figured out the Doyle who died in 1997 is the one we're discussing, he turns out to have been a prominent sailor (aka Bud Doyle) and received significant coverage, including an in-depth staff-written obit at The Buffalo News. See e.g. and . Also, FWIW, the obit does discuss his NFL career. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:45, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Withdrawn. I can't read it without subscription but I trust you that it's SIGCOV. Cbl62 (talk) 18:12, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
