Shawn D. Moore

 * – (View AfD (View log  •  AfD statistics)

Bio for a "small time college big time athlete" (non-notable) football player. Previously A7'ed, author re-created the article and added more grandiose claims. Proposed deletion tags added by another editor to the recreated article were removed by an IP address. Fails WP:ATHLETE as he hasn't played in a fully professional league or equivalent, fails WP:N as there doesn't appear to be coverage in non-trivial third party sources. I wasn't able to validate any of the awards or honors he has received. 2 says you, says two 19:32, 9 December 2009 (UTC) shawn d. moore went to a small college in arkansas baptist and declaring for the draft he is not a player that went to a D1 school but very much so a D1 athlete if you google him type in shawn D. moore and you will find him —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.174.39.215 (talk) 09:59, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete - Non-notable person, this user also added this "player" to the list of 2010 NFL Draft players who declared for the draft with a reference that just copied Golden Tate's reference in which "Shawn D. Moore" was not to be found.  Eagles   24/7   (C)  20:54, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - The IP who removed the PROD tag is obviously the creator of the article.  Eagles   24/7   (C)  21:07, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:N and WP:ATHLETE; which was my prod rationale as well.  Them From  Space  21:05, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete – Non-notable. Arkansas Baptist College (where Moore apparently plays) is not at the top-level of college football, and I doubt reliable sources exist on him. I searched quickly on Google News for him, and the only Shawn Moore I found mentioned was a former Virginia quarterback, not the player in question.

 * Delete: Fails WP:ATHLETE. Joe Chill (talk) 01:41, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Then why when I type his name into google do I primarily get LinkedIn entries that are about an unrelated businessman with the same name? 2 says you, says two 17:40, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

if you type in shawn d. moore nfl at google you will see his name and will say shawn moore attended click on there and read the rest like I said before he went to a small college but a big time athlete stop hating on him he is working hard like all the rest of the athletes trying to make it to the big time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.174.39.215 (talk) 09:10, 14 December 2009 (UTC) no this player is just like any other college player that has articles on him I have told you where you can find his information and there is a picture on this article I strongly disagree with the deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.174.39.215 (talk) 10:18, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete - totally non-notable, doesn't meet WP:ATHLETE.  This is promotional and non-encyclopedic.  Maybe if he does entry the draft and does get selected it might merit an article eventually, but Wikipedia is not a crystal ball.   Cocytus   [»talk«]  02:06, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * DONT DELETE - keep this article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.174.39.215 (talk) 10:52, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - just because he exists and just because information exists on him does not mean he is notable. In order to have an article on Wikipedia, it must meet our notability guidelines. Unfortunately, this player does not. The article admits that he played at a "small college," which differentiates him from someone who plays at a big school, in that he is not playing at the highest level of the sport. This is not to say, however, that he will never be notable. He could very well, as you say, get drafted and become a major star (I wish him the best). However, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, and it is not our job to debate whether or not he will someday become notable. We can only decide right now, based on the information we currently have. Currently, he has done nothing to merit inclusion, since he fails WP:ATHLETE.  Best,  Cocytus   [»talk«]  14:05, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
