Marcus Fitzgerald

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Fails WP:ATH since he has never played in a pro game, fails WP:GNG per no "significant coverage", shown here. Also notability doesn't transfer among relatives. Giants27 ( c  |  s ) 01:26, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - His kin does not earn him notability, and thus far he hasn't done anything to earn it himself. If he ends up signing with and playing for the UFL, he'll have it instantly. Until then, I'd say no.► Chris Nelson Holla! 02:40, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep per this Google News Archive search. See this article from Star Tribune, this article from the Associated Press, this article from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, etc. I don't doubt that Fitzgerald fails WP:ATHLETE, but because multiple, independent reliable sources have covered him, this article should be kept.

 * I have merged some content into Larry Fitzgerald and would have no issues with a redirect to that target. Cunard (talk) 02:09, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. He fails WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG. The coverage of him is not significant. All those sources say is that he is the brother of an NFL player and he is hoping to become an NFL player, too. Whatever notability he has in those articles is because of who his brother is. (I would be OK with a redirect to Larry Fitzgerald where he could briefly be mentioned there.)

 * Delete All of the coverage is really about his brother once you boil it down. Redirect suggested by Cunard makes sense to me. - Richfife (talk) 20:42, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
