Fails WP:NGRIDIRON, never playing in any of the leagues, appears to be in a German based American football league although the listed team does not exist. (Note:original AfD removed due to page redirect/recreation) &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;   &#9743;(talk)  03:16, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - Elmshorn is a real team, but they play in the German Football League 2, which is not a top-level league. I don't see enough non-routine coverage to meet WP:GNG either. EricEnfermero  HOWDY! 04:00, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - Upon article creation it was listed as GFL (1 not 2), and could not find the team mentioned in that article. It has since been updated although it does not help with notability standards.-- &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(talk)  20:13, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. As EricEnfermero notes, the GFL2 is not a top-level league (it's not even the top-tier American football league in Germany), so Woodard doesn't pass WP:NGRIDIRON. His college career was also played at a lower tier (NCAA Division II) school.  Finally, I am not finding significant coverage in mainstream media sources that would satisfy WP:GNG.  The first source listed in the article is a press release from his college and therefore not independent.  The second source is the same press release picked up by another site.  The last two sources are blog mentions that do not appear to be reliable sources. Cbl62 (talk) 04:47, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete as no evidence of any notability. – Davey 2010 •  (talk)  04:48, 1 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete - Non-notable former college and minor league pro player of American football. Subject is not entitled to a presumption of notability per the specific notability guidelines of WP:NCOLLATH (no major awards) or WP:NGRIDIRON (never played a game in major pro league such as the NFL or CFL), and there is insufficient significant coverage of the subject in multiple, independent, reliable sources to satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG.
