Basped does not pass the notability guidelines for gridiron football. His college career was not enough to rise to the level of notability. Beyond this he never played in an actual NFL game. John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:36, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As he meets the first criteria of WP:NGRIDIRON: "Have appeared in at least one regular season or post season game in any one of the following professional leagues: the Arena Football League" RickinBaltimore (talk) 14:39, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He played in the AFL. This nominator seems to be nominating many articles because he doesnt like them, not because they arent notable. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 15:58, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I am nominating articles based on a consistent and reasoned study of who is and who is not notable, not based on "because I don't like them." This tendency to not assume good faith in dealing with those who nominate articles for deletion is what leads to Wikipedia having a poor reputation among the general public because it keeps on a whole slew of worthless articles on non-notabe people.John Pack Lambert (talk) 07:16, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per above. Additionally, he appears to have played a game in the CFL, which also makes him notable per NGRIDIRON. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 16:03, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per BU Rob13. Between the AFL and the CFL, he appears to meet the criteria for WP:NGRIDIRON. Ejgreen77 (talk) 11:11, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Satisfies WP:NGRIDIRON. This really should be checked before nominating for deletion per WP:BEFORE. Smartyllama (talk) 13:55, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
