George Kane (American football)

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

Article unconditionally and utterly fails WP:SPORTBASIC, prong 5 ("Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources." Article has been tagged for 18 months due to this deficiency and still no SIGCOV. Preferred result is redirect to List of players who appeared in only one game in the NFL (1920–1929) but my efforts to do that have twice been reverted (in 2022 by User:BeanieFan11 and in 2024 by User:Let'srun).

 * Redirect to List of players who appeared in only one game in the NFL (1920–1929): My revert was due to the previous request for a discussion to determine notability, which hadn't yet occurred. However, a search of multiple newspaper archives failed to uncover the needed WP:SIGCOV to meet the WP:GNG. Redirect as a WP:ATD. Let&#39;srun (talk) 18:34, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Spent four years at Fordham and played professionally in 1919 as well as 1921. That "George Kane Fordham" in NY / OH doesn't seem to bring up anything has me thinking that he might have been known under another name. It seems Fordham in 1912 had two Kanes, H. Kane and V. Kane. Wonder whether one of those is our Kane under a different name... BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:14, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of players who appeared in only one game in the NFL (1920–1929) (although that article title needs to be changed to say "in exactly one game for NPOV reasons). Subject fails WP:GNG and WP:NSPORT. Eagles 24/7 (C)  15:42, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above. Questions as to a person's identity should be resolved long before making a Wikipedia article about the person. Geschichte (talk) 21:11, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of players who appeared in only one game in the NFL (1920–1929), as helpfully suggested by the previous editors. And Adoil Descended (talk) 09:29, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
