Appears to have played in the CFL, but I cannot find much information about him outside of reference/stats sources. Not sure if this person should have his own wikipedia page. Edday1051 (talk) 18:24, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Passes WP:NGRIDIRON. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 00:05, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Passes WP:GRIDIRON having played 6 years in the CFL. Also passes WP:GNG; e.g., here, here. Cbl62 (talk) 01:15, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as a straight-up WP:NGRIDIRON pass. Played seven seasons in the CFL, and was a Grey Cup champion. Ejgreen77 (talk) 05:33, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep clearly does pass WP:NGRIDIRON. The nominator merely says he is unsure whether the subject should have an article. I wonder if he would consider withdrawing this now? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:29, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep subject played in the CFL. Lepricavark (talk) 19:44, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete one source is never enough to pass the general notability guidlines.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:17, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is true. But as a professional athlete he does pass the SNG for football players. Carrite (talk) 02:53, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Keep This type of article is exactly why we have SNGs. Subject's era was 40 years ago. Good luck finding sources online from that era. But considering the popularity and coverage of the CFL, along with the fact he had a six-year career including a stint on a championship team, it is very reasonable to presume sources exist. For example, I am comfortable presuming hard newspaper archives have the coverage necessary, its just that we are not going to ask a volunteer, Internet based project to go Winnipeg and Montreal to find them.

• Keep - Passes the SNG for football players as a participant for a top-level professional team. Carrite (talk) 02:53, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Passes WP:NGRIDIRON as above, already proven by the first source. Referring to the delete vote, from our permanently delete voting member, if additional sources are necessary WP:BEFORE suggests he could have looked for more. I have added a few.

• Keep we normally keep CFL players as having achieved notability.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:50, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
