Ron Cheatham

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The subject of this article doesn't appear to be notable. I can't find any evidence that he actually played in the NFL or the CFL and he doesn't look to be notable merely on the merits of his college football career. All-conference in the NAIA probably doesn't cut it. A cursory Google seach doesn't turn up much either. Note that there are some hits for other athletes of the same name, a Ron Cheatham who was a running back at Washington State in the 1970s and briefly with the BC Lions in 1975 and another Ron Cheatham who played basketball at Indiana State in the late 1980s.

 * Delete per nom. Not finding significant coverage of the type needed to satisfy WP:GNG regarding the subject of this article. Cbl62 (talk) 03:13, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Non-notable small college football player. Subject does not satisfy the specific guidelines for college athletes per WP:NCOLLATH (no major awards or honors) or professional football players per WP:NGRIDIRON (never played a regular season game in the NFL or CFL]].  There is insufficient significant coverage of subject in multiple, independent, reliable sources to satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG.

 * Delete. I've searched and searched for some evidence that he actually played in the NFL or CFL but I can't find any record of it. Unless someone can show that he actually played a regular season game in one of these leagues then he fails WP:NGRIDIRON. T.C.Haliburtontalk nerdy to me 18:13, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment: This article was created by Nflalumnichicago. Cheatham is apparently "Vice-President of the NFL Alumni Chapter in Chicago." This suggests a COI or possible vanity page. T.C.Haliburtontalk nerdy to me 13:30, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
