Leslie Hood

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

Fails WP:GNG, and violates WP:SPORTSCRIT #5.

While an impressive effort, this article is better suited to a genealogy book than Wikipedia; the subject, while having a few dozen passing mentions over the years, lacks the significant and independent coverage required to construct a Wikipedia article. As a consequence of this, we see the article go into excessive background detail to fill it out - detail that we would normally expect to omit.

Of the 80 references, 36 don't mention Leslie Hood in any way, and several more refer to him only indirectly as "son" or "brother". Of the remainder, the majority are not only just passing mentions, but such trivial passing mentions that his name is only included in a list.
