Grant Mahoney


High school athlete. No claim of notability, no sources, sub-stub. Edison 14:33, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Punkmorten 17:18, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:BIO -- Whpq 17:57, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete since high school athletes aren't notable 99% of the time, and this is not one of those times. Chris Buckey 18:51, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't Delete because he is the best kicker in Iowa and deserves to be recognized. Howie3310 19:58, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Please add references to the article from newspapers to document this claim. That is the sort of thing that is needed to establish notability. Didn't he also play basketball? Edison 05:25, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Ability to kick items a long distance does not indicate notability. --Fred McGarry 12:03, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment It could if there were multiple independent sources reporting on, say a pro athlete or the best college athlete, but no such sources have appeared for this article. Edison 16:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete The contributions of Howie3310 are restricted to this article, Linn-Mar High School and Jack Trice Stadium. He (or you?) may deserve to be recognised but that doesn't mean that he is. Wikipedia articles should be about people who are famous, not people who are going to be famous. DrKiernan 15:00, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
