Fails WP:GNG; created in 2007 by a likely WP:COI contributor and somehow still here 11 years later. No independent references and no available WP:RSes to replace them.  Julietdeltalima   (talk)  16:31, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete all of the sources are primary and no other ones exist to replace them. Not a Football AFD, though. SportingFlyer  talk  00:58, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - I removed this AfD from the WP:FOOTY list, as the subject has nothing to do with association football -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:17, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Presumably was meant for American football. It's been added there now.—Bagumba (talk) 06:06, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment I found this secondary source: http://www.justinmuseum.com/cccpapers/sellerssbio.html, but it's the only one I could find. --John M Wolfson (talk) 21:35, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
 * It's a secondary source, but is it independent and reliable?Sandals1 (talk) 16:24, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

 * I think it's independent, since I don't see any association between it at the Wentworth Academy and it's a whole museum of Military History and lots of other stuff, akin to the Political Graveyard. However, its reliability is cast into doubt given that he doesn't cite any sources and accepts submissions of stories (and thus potential info) uncritically, and there's no independent mention of it in a Google Search. In any case it looks like this article will be deleted, and there aren't any other secondary sources to the best of my knowledge, but still. --John M Wolfson (talk) 17:57, 3 October 2018 (UTC)


 * delete as it is now written and presented. It's possible that he may have achieved notability, but it's hard to really determine for someone from this time period just from internet searches.  I'd be fully supportive on incubating the article and trying again once we have good, solid sources (even offline sources).  But as it is written now, there doesn't really seem to be a notable claim--was this a high school?  Junior College?  It may be there, but I'm not clear.  Would be willing to change my position as we discuss.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:07, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I also endorse Paul M's comment on willingness to incubate if the article creator or another editor were to request that. Cbl62 (talk) 15:45, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
 * delete Currently I don't see any accomplishments that would show he belongs in an encyclopedia and the coverage doesn't meet the GNG.Sandals1 (talk) 16:24, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
