 * Delete. Non-notable former college football player.  Not entitled to a presumption of notability per WP:NCOLLATH (no major national awards) or WP:NGRIDIRON (never played in a regular season pro game), and there is insufficient coverage in multiple independent, reliable sources to satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG.

 * Delete coverage I see is routine, and about half the coverage anyways when searching for Burke Idaho is passing mentions of a police officer with the same name in the local small town newspaper. Secret account 05:33, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete does not appear to pass WP:GNG or any other notability measure I can find. Would change my position if information surfaces.--Paul McDonald (talk) 06:18, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable college player who never played a professional game. Fails WP:GNG....William 11:19, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - Had a pedestrian college career, and not having played in any pro league (at least the NFL, can't find a source stating any other league), fails WP:NGRIDIRON.  Zappa  O  Mati   15:57, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - not notable.--Staberinde (talk) 10:57, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. While college players can qualify under WP:GNG even if they never play in the NFL, I am not finding sufficient non-trivial coverage of Burke to pass GNG.  The best I find is a brief announcement in a Moscow, Idaho, newspaper reporting on his signing a pro contract: .  Cbl62 (talk) 19:40, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
