Procedural nomination, was nominated for PROD, but ineligible as it was effectively contested.

Was deleted in the past via PROD for reason: "Article fails to meet the relevant notability guidelines for Wikipedia." Recreation could be seen to contest the deletion, and to prevent future recreation this should go via AfD so it becomes eligible for CSD G4.

Weak delete. This is truly a tough call. As an Mr. Football Award (Indiana) recipient, there seems to be notability here. However, that's a high school award. It seems after that there is very little that qualifies him as WP:ATHLETE. If recognition as Mr. Football is good enough, then I'd change to keep, but it seems this guy has done nothing else worthy. — Timneu22 · talk 11:46, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NSPORT says High school athletes are notable only if they have received, as individuals, substantial and prolonged coverage that is national and independent of the subject. — Timneu22 · talk 11:47, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning stronger toward delete because there's just not a single reference in the article. His Purdue WR days seem to be completely unnoted. — Timneu22 · talk 11:49, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete that's an easy call--no sources given, no article. The rest doesn't even matter!--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:02, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - agree that this is an easy call. High school awards are not enough. Jusdafax 15:09, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
