Non-notable football player. Never actually played in the NFL, can't find anything in newspapers.com outside of basic game recaps, does not appear to pass WP:GNG. Wizardman 01:03, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - not finding significant coverage. Rlendog (talk) 15:34, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Coverage exists at [[2]], but besides that all I can see is some mentions in game recaps. Leaning delete now, but will wait to see if others can find more/better coverage. Let'srun (talk) 18:10, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A search of Newspapers.com doen't turn up much of real depth. And he has very little in the way of on-field success -- his best season was 2005 with only 225 rushing yards and two touchdowns at the FCS-level. See here. I found this profile from his time as a high school player, but a local paper reporting on the local player of the week isn't enough per WP:YOUNGATH. The best item I found was this item from his junior-college days; it's SIGCOV IMO but not enough to pass the GNG bar. Most of the hits are just passing mentions in game coverage from his days at Ohio University. E.g. this and this. I have an open mind if more SIGCOV is uncovered, especially from his time in Division I. Cbl62 (talk) 18:36, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above rationale. Not enough WP:SIGCOV for this subject to meet the WP:GNG. Please ping me if any additional coverage is found. Let'srun (talk) 15:19, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete non-notable person based on only routine reports and non-significant coverage on this person. Carson Wentz (talk) 17:05, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
