The subject of this article doesn't appear to be notable. I can't find any evidence that he actually played in the NFL or the CFL and he doesn't look to be notable merely on the merits of his college football career. All-conference in the NAIA probably doesn't cut it. A cursory Google seach doesn't turn up much either. Note that there are some hits for other athletes of the same name, a Ron Cheatham who was a running back at Washington State in the 1970s and briefly with the BC Lions in 1975 and another Ron Cheatham who played basketball at Indiana State in the late 1980s.

Delete per nom. Not finding significant coverage of the type needed to satisfy WP:GNG regarding the subject of this article. Cbl62 (talk) 03:13, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Non-notable small college football player. Subject does not satisfy the specific guidelines for college athletes per WP:NCOLLATH (no major awards or honors) or professional football players per WP:NGRIDIRON (never played a regular season game in the NFL or CFL]]. There is insufficient significant coverage of subject in multiple, independent, reliable sources to satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG.

Delete. I've searched and searched for some evidence that he actually played in the NFL or CFL but I can't find any record of it. Unless someone can show that he actually played a regular season game in one of these leagues then he fails WP:NGRIDIRON. T.C.Haliburton^{talk nerdy to me} 18:13, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NGRIDIRON, WP:NCOLLATH, and WP:GNG with no significant coverage. NAIA all district 20 is not a national award.204.126.132.231 (talk) 22:00, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: This article was created by Nflalumnichicago. Cheatham is apparently "Vice-President of the NFL Alumni Chapter in Chicago." This suggests a COI or possible vanity page. T.C.Haliburton^{talk nerdy to me} 13:30, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
