Delete hard to separate out all the noise in the search engines, but everything I find seems to either be passing mentions, fan blog entries, or "and finally" articles. Notability can be achieved through college play, but I can't determine that through my searches. If it were presented I'd reconsider.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:07, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@SportingFlyer: Did you conduct a WP:BEFORE inquiry to determine whether there is coverage that might pass WP:GNG? If you did so and found no significant coverage, I'd be inclined to vote "delete" but want to make sure that has been done. Cbl62 (talk) 14:45, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Cbl62: I always run a before search when nominating. My search brought up all the usual - the ESPN biography, the NFL biography, stats sites, transactional blurbs, so I don't think he passes WP:GNG. Since he won't get an appearance until at least next August I think a deletion without prejudice is the best option here. SportingFlyer talk 18:20, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete on grounds that he does not pass WP:NGRIDIRON and per absence of significant coverage cited in article and searches by SportingFlyer and PaulMcDonald which failed to turn up significant coverage of the type needed to pass WP:GNG. If significant coverage turns up, I'm open to reconsidering. Cbl62 (talk) 19:19, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry for not reading up on all the requirements for an NFL player page. I moved the page to User:Capromeryx/EthanWolf, in case I want to keep working on it. I'll try to be more well-versed on Wikipedia's policies before I try making another page. Capromeryx (talk) 20:15, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No worries Capromeryx! Feel free to reach out to any experienced editor and they'll be happy to help in whatever way they can! Bkissin (talk) 21:58, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree with the nominator's rationale. Obviously if something changes next season this can easily be restored and expanded. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 13:49, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
delete Doesn't meet the GNG or WP:NGRIDIRON. Lots of players never make it from the practice squad to the regular season roster. If he does, then this article can be put into mainspace.Sandals1 (talk) 18:58, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
