Delete Keep The article fails to meet WP:Athlete, provides no sources and also appears to have been created by the subject of the article, which brings up some vanity issues. Was previously tagged with PROD and this was removed by article creator with no edit summary given to explain - the text 'Capes then tried out for the World League of American Football' was added when the prod tag was removed but surely trying out for a league does not estalish notability (besides, the fact is also unsourced). Article also seems unlikely to ever be linked to by another article, if that makes any difference. The award mentioned seems to be a local award given out variously across the USA by a voluntary organisation. Sassf (talk) 16:11, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep - A simple google search (third link) located the fact that this athlete played for the professional London Monarchs of the World League of American Football, that fact with four citations to reliable sources have been added to the article, it now passes WP:ATHLETE. --Captain-tucker (talk) 02:09, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm sorry, that was careless. Didn't really search as there had been a previous prod (which had been removed without reason) and because the article was written by the subject (presumably) who himself hadn't listed any particular notability! Gosh, why didn't he say he played for the Monarchs?  Even unreferenced it would've been enough.  I also notice from one of the articles you found he is the son of Geoff Capes, which is an interesting and quite a relevant fact, so will add that.Sassf (talk) 10:17, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
