- Keep I don't understand and probably somebody can explain it to me, in Wikipedia there are HUNDREDS of articles that have less merit than this one to exist and are never nominated for deletion. This player, actually was part of 2 NFL practice squads and played professional football (even if you mention that it is in a minor league). So please explain why keep instead articles in Wikipedia like these ones: Jake Dombrowski, Justin Roland, Ryan Anderson (punter), Brian Stahovich, Kip Smith, etc. The Kip Smith article has even been nominated for deletion twice and it hasn't gone through, even though his record is in high school which is a playing level inferior to a "minor professional league" ?

- @WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS which means each article must be assessed on its own merits for deletion. It may be those other players are also not notable but have not been assessed yet. I also find the inclusion of the Kip Smith article particularly egregious, as he only received coverage from papers from the two colleges where he punted, but the fact we've kept that article has absolutely no bearing on whether or not McDaniel is notable. Hope that helps. SportingFlyer T·C 08:19, 12 April 2020 (UTC)]
- Comment I've nominated the others, besides Kip Smith (who seems to be considered notable), for deletion. However, as SportingFlyer notes, other articles' worthiness for Wikipedia do not have any effect on whether the Kenneth McDaniel article should be kept or not.
