Ohio State Starting Offense to Skip Bowl Game To Prepare for Draft

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable scenario/event. Should be deleted per NOTNEWS.  PK T (alk)  03:09, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom. Had accidentally prodded this myself without noticing the previous one. GABgab 03:12, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. This article appears to be completely inaccurate. Nobody from Ohio State has announced they will skip their bowl game, and contrary to this article, Ezekiel Elliott criticized the idea of skipping a bowl game to prepare for the draft. Even if there were any truth to it, it ought to be covered in 2016 Fiesta Bowl (December), but this shouldn't even be a redirect because the title is untrue (besides being an implausible search term). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:27, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete This should be a clear consensus.   —Grammardoc—   ''   talk 04:43, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTNEWS....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 10:35, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

I suggest speedy deletion of the article, although when I first saw it I couldn't see which criterion might apply.  PK T (alk)  15:26, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete: unsourced hoax. --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:28, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Add comment. On further reflection, this is also possibly susceptible to speedy deletion per WP:G10 as a wholly unsourced (and unsourceable) page reflecting negatively on Elliot (and arguably McCaffrey). I tagged it as such using Twinkle, which resulted in blanking the page--perhaps that's overkill for the probably satirical article at issue here, but since it appears that the story is in fact false, I didn't unblank it. --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:17, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
 * The article has now been speedy deleted by, so this AfD could now be subject to a procedural close.--Arxiloxos (talk) 00:29, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Deletion process says procedural close shouldn't be used that way. Only when the page doesn't exist or has been deleted prior to nomination. Closing as procedural close usually has the AfD bot tag the AfD in question as null. It's messy. I've usually closed as "speedily deleted" which makes it a bit clearer that I didn't delete (should be obvious in any case). I haven't added "by [name]" before because I didn't want to send them a notifcation and I remembered there having been a no-notification template, but couldn't remember it exactly. It's {noping|username}. I think I'll start using it from here on with "speedily deleted by [name]". Mr. Magoo (talk) 07:04, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
