The result was keep.   Closing this a little early to tidy up, but with the subject's professional play, there's no reason to leave this open another day. Non-admin action. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 14:26, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Snow keep. Reliable sources on the article indicate he played in 8 games in the National Football League, which means he passes the notability criteria for American football players. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 15:41, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

 * I won't repeat my arguments here; please read my comments which apply equally to this article: Articles_for_deletion/Anthony_Zuzzio. And while I may only have 750 edits, I have been on wikipedia since 2006, so am no spring chicken! :) --Karl.brown (talk) 02:41, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment number of edits by any editor should have little to no bearing on the arguments made by the editor. If they're right, they're right.  If they're wrong, they're wrong.  I've got 25,000+ edits and sometimes I'm still trying to figure this "Wikipedia" thing out...--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:35, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment My comment above was meant to alert editors to be easier on the nominator as they are new. It can get, um, "interesting" with the comments when Snowballs start getting thrown.  Most editors know the number of edits or time spent around here has nothing to with the arguments. Bgwhite (talk) 04:55, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I know you ment that BG, but not everyone else coming along and reading it knows you like I do! (Do I know you?) :)--Paul McDonald (talk) 11:15, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Bushby appeared in 8 regular season NFL games, and started 4 of them, across 2 NFL seasons, 1934 and 1935.  He's presumed to be notable per WP:NGRIDIRON.  Is there a reason why this AfD is still open?  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 00:33, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
