Keep[edit]

Keep - He was a player in the National Football League for four seasons and was on two different professional teams. His stats can be found here, here, and more importantly here. He is definitely notable and the article should stay. Jwalte04 (talk) 01:05, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Every athlete has stats about him or her, and Mr. Musgrove's are hardly noteworthy. I still propose deletion of the article.--Email4jonathan (talk) 17:03, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In Wikipedia's guidelines for athletic notability, it says that athletes and coaches are allowed: "Competitors and coaches who have competed in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, golf or tennis". Spain Musgrove played in the National Football League. Its obviously a keep. Jwalte04 (talk) 17:29, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The Wikipedia guideline you are citing is a general guideline; it goes on to say that "meeting one or more [of the criteria for a notable article] does not guarantee that a subject should be included." In addition to being unnoteworthy (so far), this article also does not cite sufficient sources. If you could provide secondary sources for your information and some supplementary information about Mr. Musgrove, it might be noteworthy, but thousands of people have played in the NFL without anyone ever knowing their names; i.e., they were not noteworthy. Check out this page about Ryan Fitzpatrick, who hardly anyone knows about for his NFL experience but is quite noteworthy. If you or someone can improve this article with citations and supplementary information, then it should probably be a "keep." Otherwise (since you're so passionate about this article), I will nominate the article to go through the Articles for deletion process.

I see that Jwalte04 has added a little more information, and I have even added some information with citations, but it is all biographical and not noteworthy. However, I will remove the proposal for deletion for now on precedent (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Tommy_Davis_%28defensive_end%29). --Email4jonathan (talk) 00:54, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
