The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to List of players who appeared in only one game in the NFL (1920–1929)#1923. Please though, use civil language in AFD discussion despite any frustration you may be feeling. Saying "put up or shut up" has a chilling effect on a discussion. Editors should feel free express a different point of view on an AFD outcome than the majority of participants. Liz ^{Read!

Fails WP:GNG and prong 5 of WP:SPORTBASIC. Article has for 11 years remained as a sub-stub unsupported by any SIGCOV, and my searches failed to find any. (I tried redirecting to List of players who appeared in only one game in the NFL (1920–1929)#1923, but the redirect was reverted by User:BeanieFan11. A redirect remains a reasonable alternative to deletion IMO.) Cbl62 (talk) 01:58, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per nom. We've gone over this extensively for over a year now; SIGCOV is required for sports articles, and simple participation has been deprecated. If User:BeanieFan11 is unprepared to do the work to properly source the articles, he does not now get to unilaterally decide to defy consensus-based notability standards. Either put up or shut up.

Redirect per Cbl62. If any SIGCOV can be found, please ping me, but for now, I think this redirect should be restored. SPF121188 ^{(talk this way)} ^{(my edits)} 20:59, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think its likely that he has coverage in The Badgers: Milwaukee's NFL Entry of 1922-1926. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:33, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
For an article that's been a sub-stub for over a decade, speculation is nowhere near good enough. Either produce solid, multiple reliable sources providing significant coverage to the subject -- as the GNG requires -- or not, but if you don't know for a certain fact that this coverage exists, it's long since past the time that we're willing to accept wishful thinking.

Redirect per nom with no prejudice against re-creating if significant coverage is found and added. –dlthewave ☎ 04:36, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per above. Therapyisgood (talk) 20:09, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
