Aufner was a college football player which in and of itself is not enough to establish notability. He last played college football no less than 2 years ago, in all likelihood, and the only source is the player bio from his university. He totally fails the notability guidelines for gridiron football. John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:44, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete a few passing mentions, but little else in coverage. Did not even sign with a NFL team as an undrafted free agent after his college career ended, so I don't see any claims of notability. Prevan (talk) 14:38, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete offensive linemen get bruises, not news coverage. It's rare for an OL to get enough coverage to pass WP:GNG and I don't see it happening here.--Paul McDonald (talk) 11:26, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Has not played pro football and thus fails WP:NGRIDIRON. No major awards, and I'm not finding significant coverage in reliable sources such that he does not pass either WP:NCOLLATH or WP:GNG either. Paul is also correct: whether fair or not, offensive linemen just don't get much coverage as compared to other position players. Cbl62 (talk) 00:21, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
