• Delete I'm not seeing any notability measure here to consider passed. There's apparently other people by that name, so online searches reveal a lot of noise and it's difficult to pick out, so I have to go with the article as written--and the only sources are transactional-type data that we typically ignore for the purposes of determining notability.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:02, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, a player with no achievements and not even a proper competition on a pro level of his sport has to be
  remarkable and remembered in order to have an article. A couple of interviews would not be enough either. Geschichte (talk) 05:23, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply

• Delete, Did no t play in NFL, does not meet notability. Alex-h (talk) 10:05, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, Dulin played in the
  American Football league, bigger than the All-America Football Conference, so he does meet notability requirements.Tecmo (talk) 22:29, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply

  WP:NGRIDIRON. If you would like to propose an amendment to NGRIDIRON to include the WFL, you may do so at Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports). Eagles 24/7 (C) 22:47, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply

• @
  WP:NGRIDIRON article you mentioned, the WFL is included in the following text:"or any other top-level professional league". That text should be removed immediately if the only football leagues that apply are the NFL, CFL, AFL, USFL and AAFC. That text is there to include leagues like the World Football League.Tecmo (talk) 17:04, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply

• Has there been any record or in-depth discussion about the WFL in reference to
  WP:NGRIDIRON?--Paul McDonald (talk) 22:50, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply
