No evidence is shown to indicate this player meets GNG. He was briefly on the books at Atlanta Silverbacks and some sources indicate he made a single appearance for them, though this isn't indicated in the article and it's hard to find a report for any match he participated in (so there's no way of knowing if it was even a competitive fixture). Whether he played or not, he never received significant coverage and his career is clearly over. JonnyDKeen (talk) 16:45, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As pointed out below, Parrish did in fact play a single minute of pro football in 2008. I still don't think he meets GNG and struggle to see what possible benefit there is to maintaining his article, though I do appreciate Keskkonnakaitse providing sources to help this AfD be better assessed. --JonnyDKeen (talk) 17:15, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails GNG and NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 08:50, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, fails GNG and probably also NFOOTY.--Mvqr (talk) 11:32, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – Parrish does meet WP:NFOOTY, as backed up by FBRef and Stats Crew. This thread at BigSoccer has details on the appearance, he came on as a substitute in the 2008 season opener. Now, with that said, I'm aware that current consensus would still have this article deleted for failing GNG, and I just don't have the time during the holiday season to do the necessary deep dive to find sources. Therefore, I'm going to make what might be a strange request: if and when this article is deleted, I would like to request the closer to preserve it in my userspace, if possible. I'd like to try to rescue this article, but definitely won't have the time until after the new year. Courtesy ping to @GiantSnowman: and @Mvqr: on the off chance that this new information has any bearing on their !votes. Keskkonnakaitse (talk) 18:33, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still at delete. A single minute's playing time when he came in on the 90th minute back in 2008 does not alleviate the GNG issue here.--Mvqr (talk) 11:10, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto. There is longstanding consensus that scraping by on NFOOTBALL with one or two appearances is insufficient when GNG is failed so comprehensively, as is the case here. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 11:21, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
