- Delete Fails WP:GNG, lacking non-WP:ROUTINE coverage in multiple sources. Fails WP:NSPORTS having never played in NFL and non-notable college achievements. He was release by the Dallas Cowboys on August 7 in this years training camp already.—Bagumba (talk) 09:12, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I was unable to find any news coverage of significance on the subject. Strikehold (talk) 20:51, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. There's some non-trivial coverage here and here, but both are from a small-town Oklahoma newspaper (Tahlequah Daily Press) near where Blackard grew up. Defensive linemen don't get as much coverage as the players at the skill positions, but, still, I don't see enough here to conclude that WP:GNG is met. If truly notable, I'd expect to see similar non-trivial coverage beyond Tahlequah. Cbl62 (talk) 21:08, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
