No indication of why the subject is notable. Only one citation is in the article, and it gives no explanation for what makes Brown unique or noteworthy. Nightscream (talk) 15:19, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, they've played in 82 NFL games, they pass WP:NGRIDIRON Hey man im josh (talk) 20:03, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:NGRIDIRON requires"multiple published non-trivial" sources. The article does not have this. Nightscream (talk) 20:21, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You can't vote when you're the nominator. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:40, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep based on [1][2][3]. Worth noting that although NGRIDIRON does not exist any more as a separate guideline, NFL players with as much experience as Simon are virtually always notable. Hatman31 (talk) 21:28, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. These nominations are getting ridiculous. Simon played EIGHTY-TWO games in the NFL and was a starter for multiple seasons. And, like 99% of other NFL players, Simon easily meets GNG, see here, here, here, here, and here. They even made football cards of him! BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:39, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Played 80 NFL games. Undoubtedly notable due to having played several seasons in the NFL. Poor nomination rationale and should have sought better sources, not deletion. Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 22:08, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep per the above. The fact that the nominator couldn't even get th name right is one of many indications that WP:BEFORE was not followed. If we all weren't so distracted with nominations like this we might actually be able to improve the encyclopedia. St Anselm (talk) 22:20, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Meets WP:NGRIDIRON, WP:GNG, and WP:BASIC, per the sources found by Hatman31 and BeanieFan11. Total failure of WP:BEFORE on the part of the nominator. Ejgreen77 (talk) 10:22, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
