Non-notable former NFL player who played in 3 games in 1922. A WP:BEFORE yields no results. Therapyisgood (talk) 10:00, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Milwaukee Badgers players. No WP:SIGCOV found, though the search was complicated by the commonness of the name. Will reconsider if SIGCOV found and at least one is added to the article in order to satisfy the mandate of WP:SPORTBASIC. Cbl62 (talk) 13:54, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Some coverage found in a quick search: [1] [2]. Also, a kind of interesting story relating to him here, although it doesn't count towards notability. I'll do a more in-depth search later. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:28, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Draftify. I know I can find SIGCOV (I'm not sure the two above are enough), its just going to take some time. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:55, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify to give BeanieFan11 time to find sources. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 19:18, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify Fails WP:GNG in its current form. Draftifying would be the top choice as BeanieFan11 has offered to search for sources. Redirecting per Cbl62 would be my second choice. Alvaldi (talk) 19:26, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify: Needs improvements before it meets notability standards. Let BeanieFan11 have a chance to improve the article in the draft space. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:18, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify. I acknowledge that there is a lot to be desired in the way of sources, however, article appears to have WP:POTENTIAL. Thus, I am proposing a unique solution here: to draftify rather than delete the article until such time as notability standards are met and demonstrated in the way of sources.
