The result of the debate was keep. Ichiro 19:21, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Non-notable football player who played a few years in the football minor leagues and that's his only claim to notablity. [1] 656 hits for a proffsinal football player is very little also. Delete --Jaranda wat's sup 00:56, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Meets the criteria in WP:BIO. ReeseM 00:58, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Not really, WP:BIO needs to change some we can't have article on every player who ever played in the minor leagues, and the Intense Football League looks like a local area only pros league so unless he played in a more advance proffesianal league, he should not have a article. --Jaranda wat's sup 01:08, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per ReeseM. --Aaron 01:07, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, Arena Football League experience makes him oh so very marginally notable. I mean, by the prints off my fingers marginally. I can taste the delete on this guy. But he makes the cut. Lord Bob 01:27, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep, professional sportsman. Just because he's less popular than a regular football player doesn't mean he's not notable. Are we going to remove players in a champion underwater hockey team based on just Google hits? - Mgm|(talk) 11:59, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, I would suggest we do exactly that in most cases. I wouldn't want to say that no individual underwater hocky player will ever deserve an article, but most practitioners of any given trade (be it football, carpentry, or oil changing) do not merit an article about themselves.
