I can't find any serious WP:SIGCOV on this person. Several Google searches brought back very, very few meaningful sources. This seems to fail WP:GNG as a result. The article also kind of comes across as self-made, possibly violating WP:COIN. Anwegmann (talk) 01:30, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notable as eight-year CFL player and four-time All-Star. This wasn't evident in the article at the time of this nomination but I have since reverted the page back to the last clean version before the COI-editing took over. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 05:55, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just out of curiosity, to what notability criteria are you referring when you claim that being a four-time CFL all-star is notable? (Being an eight-year CFL player isn't notable at all; participation standards sports-wide were deprecated nearly three years ago now.) Ravenswing 21:17, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Being an eight-year CFL player isn't notable at all – can you find a single eight-year CFL starter and four-time all-star without significant coverage? BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:33, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because it would be near impossible for someone like this to not pass GNG and discussions like this are time wasters. Here are a few sources from Google. [1][2][3][4] I'm sure there are more out there too in newspaper archives. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 22:35, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I'd say being a 4 time CFL all star probably meets WP:ANYBIO as a significant honor. Additional coverage found in the Montreal Gazette, SportsNet.ca (several more articles show up in searches, but unfortunately it looks like the pages have become corrupted as there is only a date and title with the article prose missing example here), The Globe and Mail, Houston Defender, The Province, and Vancouver Sun.

Keep, clearly notable. BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:33, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Meets WP:GNG and WP:BASIC, per the sources provided above by WikiOriginal-9 and GPL93. Ejgreen77 (talk) 11:53, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
