Jim Collins (American football)

 * Keep Above and beyond the inherent notability of professional athletes, Collins played for eight seasons in the NFL and was selected for the Pro Bowl. None of the details in his article are controversial or questionable, let's spend more time adding those sources rather than wasting time creating AfDs for articles that won't be deleted.

 * Speedy keep. Contrary to the nomination statement, this article was not unsourced (it had a link to Collins' NFL.com pages), he clearly passes WP:NGRIDIRON and WP:GNG, and it took me only a few minutes to find multiple sources to add to the page. Let's close this one now. --Arxiloxos (talk) 22:46, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep A Pro Bowler's article at AfD? Are you kidding me? WP:BEFORE, anyone? Ejgreen77 (talk) 23:22, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
 * WP:BEFORE is just an advice, WP:BLP is a policy and it failed that. The Banner talk 01:19, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep as a straight-up WP:NGRIDIRON pass. This was an extremely ill-informed nomination; if one comes across an unsourced BLP of a retired Pro Bowl football player, the obvious thing to do is to fix it, not delete it. Tarc (talk) 17:34, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
