Does not seem to meet WP:Athlete or the general notability guideline - the article itself has no sources, and states that he only played one game; a quick google search only finds database results not actual in-depth coverage. Nerd1a4i (they/them) (talk) 01:22, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn by nominator: sources have been found and the article has been improved drastically. Happy to withdraw the nomination since the issues that caused it have been resolved. --Nerd1a4i (they/them) (talk) 03:47, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

SIGCOV here. BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:45, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nice find! (For future reference in my own searching, how did you find that so quickly?) However, I believe we would need multiple sources like that one to satisfy WP:Athlete. If you think sources can be found though, I believe you since you edit football topics far more than I do. Do you want to add the information from your source into the article or should I?

Normally when there's a historical topic for deletion from either the US or Canada I search Newspapers.com, and sometimes after that NewspaperArchive. That was the best source I located, but I saw a lot of other shorter ones so I think this might pass WP:NBASIC - I may expand this later. BeanieFan11 (talk) 14:47, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Nerd1a4i: I performed a decent expansion of the article, and while working on it was able to locate additional in-depth sources here (more than a decade after his career), here, here and here. Would you be willing to withdraw this nomination? BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:34, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely yes - looks great now! Nerd1a4i (they/them) (talk) 03:46, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I added some more about his signing and his release off the team. Themanwithnowifi (talk) 08:57, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Meets WP:NBASIC and WP:GNG, see above sources and the expansion performed on the article. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:34, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
