 * They can. But who decides college all football players are non-notable? The nominator could potentially have overlooked major press coverage on this person which easily turns around a deletion debate. - Mgm|(talk) 11:29, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete, and tagged as such. Google only shows this player in roster listings and in recruiting databases as a high schooler.  His highest recognition as yet appears to be playing in a cross-county game between Dade and Broward high school all-stars, not nearly notable.  Nearly every scholarship college football player in America matches these criteria.  VT hawkeye talk to me 21:00, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * As Mgm says, this is not a speedy candidate, so I've removed the speedy tag. Delete, however.  howch e  ng   {chat} 21:43, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment: As indicated on Talk:Franklin Parks, it's not clear to me which institution this person is in.  Since nobody else brought it up, I suppose its obvious to everybody else. Could somebody make a small fix to the article, to simply point to the correct university. --Rob 01:55, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable biography. &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-01-11 02:19Z 
 * Comment: It now seems it must be Alabama's JSU, so I changed the article to reflect that.  Can people please indicate if they agree, or disagree with this.  If I've made some serious mistake, then revert me, and put in the correct info. --Rob 03:25, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as I've not been able to verify any of the information is correct. I'm a JSU fan (class of '03), attended every home game in 2005, and don't remember this guy. It's shame; we needed a good DB. The ESPN reference must be an error. He's not listed on the roster at the official JSU site, or on the one at Florida's Jacksonville University.

 * Delete SI has the same mention of him. I notice there's no number assigned to him.  Maybe he was selected, at some early stage, but didn't make it to the field.  Anyways, at this point, I figure I don't have to be a football expert to know, this person is not famous.  In hindsight, instead of trying to add context to the article, I should have tagged it as db-empty, for lack of context.  --Rob 22:07, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment: Oh. Well, good for Franklin. JSU has had some players in its past who might merit a mention in Wikipedia, including Eric Davis and Dieter Brock. Franklin Parks, however, isn't one of them. Jax42 19:18, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Oh, and JSU is a Division I-AA team, Jaranda, not Division II. There's a big difference. Jax42 19:56, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment:Parks Did broke records at not 1 high school but 3 Miami Edison,Western,and Cypress Bay high taking the rushing record,fumbles recovered record,defensive td's he can flat out play i know he shouldnt be on here now but in the future maybe remember Parks will play corner this comming season at JSU if he doesnt redshirt User:JSU|Ray]] 20:28, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
