Factual errors regarding NFL "career"; notability issues

[edit]

@BillTunell: Good morning, Bill. When you re-created this article, it popped up on my watch list. As written, there was one very large problem. After finishing his college career at Notre Dame, George Bednar was drafted by the Cardinals, but never played in a regular season NFL game. You may confirm this with a quick search for his name at NFL.com and Professional-Football-Reference.com. I have corrected this error, as well as some other minor formatting issues.

Please note that this article was previously nominated for deletion in 2014, and was redirected by consensus to "Harvey Wallbanger." See AfD discussion @ Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/George Bednar. It remains to be seen if a re-evaluation with any new sources found would satisfy the general notability guidelines, with significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable, secondary sources per WP:GNG. Because Bednar never played in a regular season NFL game, he is not entitled to a presumption of notability under WP:NGRIDIRON, and therefore must satisfy WP:GNG's notability standards for inclusion.
