Delete: Fails WP:BIO. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 21:28, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:BIO and WP:N. Article proclaims he played for the Buffalo Bills in 1924. The Buffalo Bills team didn't exist until 1960. He played for the multinamed 1920-1929 NFL franchise when they were called The Bisons. for - according to the source given in the article - a grand total of six games. Yeah, that's totally NN Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 04:27, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
• Keep per Doc Strange's arguments. If he played six times in the NFL then he is notable six times over according to the criteria for athletes in WP:BIO. Factual errors are fixed by editing, not by deleting. Phil Bridger (talk) 14:12, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm, agreed, I missed this. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 14:14, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

As did I, good work Phil Bridger. Had no clue that even playing one game in NFL made even an obscure player notable. The more you know. My vote's now Keep. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 15:08, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Withdrawing nomination per the above argument. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 14:14, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
