The article does not meet WP:GNG, WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO or WP:NSPORT / WP:NGRIDIRON. Article sources and WP:BEFORE revealed no WP:SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and in depth. BLP articles should strictly follow WP:RS, WP:V and WP:N sourcing requirements. // Timothy :: talk 02:06, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep appears to pass WP:GNG from the sources I've added to the article: The Indianapolis Star #1, The Indianapolis Star #2, The Indianapolis Star #3, Associated Press article, The Tampa Bay Times. Article would have been better served incubated in draftspace first since this is the first creation from a newer user and has many MOS/formatting issues.

Delete: - does not meet criteria listed in WP:NGRIDIRON --Whiteguru (talk) 07:04, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Whiteguru: WP:NGRIDIRON is an inclusionary guideline, not an exclusionary one. If the subject meets WP:GNG, then NGRIDIRON is irrelevant. Eagles 24/7 (C) 19:18, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per addition of new sources by Eagles247. He has also appeared in games for multiple fully professional sports leagues such as the XFL and the Italian Football League. Fully-professional leagues are usually the marker of notability in other sports, so perhaps WP:GRIDIRON is due an update.

For example, Wikipedia:WikiProject Football (yes, the other football) defines a fully professional league as one in which virtually all adult players are paid a salary that they can live on and do not need additional sources of income. XFL players were paid a salary of over $50,000 (AGF me on this, can source it if need be) so to me that would lead backwards to the XFL fitting a standard of a fully professional league.

Keep for reasons above, but I'll add the essay WP:IMPACT because as a player this individual has appeared in a multitude of professional leagues for the sport. Still, it looks like WP:GNG is the winner.--Paul McDonald (talk) 17:33, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
