For those too lazy to click, "Competitors 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." Zeuscgp (talk) 17:19, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
American football/Canadian football
American football/Canadian football figures are presumed notable if they
Have appeared in at least one game in any one of the following professional leagues: the Arena Football League, the Canadian Football League, the National Football League, the All-America Football Conference or the United States Football League, or any other top-level professional league.
Note: Players who play in minor or semi-professional leagues (such as af2) are not presumed notable unless they meet another criterion, such as notability arising from their college football days.
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.
Please delete this page. It contains inaccurate information and I prefer not to have any listing at all.
Thank you,
James A. McKinstry
@Jamckinstry: We do not normally delete articles at the subjects' request. We never delete articles on the request of a new editor. Further, a person who played professional football in the NFL and CFL is a notable athlete and qualifies for an article, so I don't see where there's a policy-based reason to delete.
