David Hale (American football)

Beyond a mention of his mormon beliefs, I cannot find any reliable sources for this person that focus in some detail over this subject. Fails WP:GNG. ^My^name ^isnot^dave (talk/contribs) 17:29, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

He played 18 games in the NFL. KEEP OBVIOUSLY.

Keep, Cleanup needed and sources need added, but it satisfies WP:NGRIDIRON because he's played in the NFL. I was able to locate some sources for his playing career. Throw a couple of those sources in, do some cleanup, this article is good to go.--Rockchalk717 17:37, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I did take a look at WP:NGRIDIRON -- but it was my perception that the lack of reliable sources that truly go into some detail would overtrump such a guideline. Appears not -- you should know what to use! ^My^name ^isnot^dave (talk/contribs) 17:42, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lol all good. I recommend doing a google search for "David Hale Ravens" and you will find some sources you can use. Then just do some cleanup. The infobox needs to switched to the NFL Player infobox though.--Rockchalk717 17:59, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Another speedy keep from the same nominator, who I hope will not continue nominating article of NFL players, as it's simply an utter waste of time, per WP:NGRIDIRON. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:03, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. Played 18 games in the NFL and passes WP:NGRIDIRON. Cbl62 (talk) 19:07, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep as a straight-up WP:NGRIDIRON pass. Sources linked to in the article confirm that Hale played two seasons in the NFL. Ejgreen77 (talk) 19:08, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
