Redirect per nom. We've gone over this extensively for over a year now; SIGCOV is required for sports articles, and simple participation has been deprecated. If
User:BeanieFan11 is unprepared to do the work to properly source the articles, he does not now get to unilaterally decide to defy consensus-based notability standards. Either put up or shut up.

SIGCOV generally requires multiple reliable sources. I guess it now passes SPORTBASIC, but not GNG. Sorry, only saw the first source, will review the rest.

None of these refer to "E. Bobadash". They all refer to "Alex Bobidosh." Is this the same person? Is the article mis-titled? Also, per
WP:SPORTBASIC, at least one example of the sources needs to be in the article. The book appears to be SIGCOV of "Alex Bobidosh". One possible solution: Create a well-sourced article on "Alex Bobidosh".

Yes, "Alex Bobidosh" and "E. Bobadash" are the same person. I have absolutely no idea why
PFR lists his name like that (especially since, on his PFR profile, underneath "E. Bobadash" it lists his full name as "Alex Bobidosh"! I'll have to contact them about that.) I'll try to expand the article soon, its just currently there's a lot of topics which I need to create "well-sourced article"s for (even before this stuff about one-game players popped up, my wikipedia "to-do" list at home was over four pages long).

An error in PFR is not a reason to keep. There is no SIGCOV whatsoever on anyone named "E. Bobadash". The sourcing you provided may or may not support creating an article on "Alex Bobidosh" but it absolutely does not support keeping an article on "E. Bobadash."

Hrm. I'm seeing a bunch of casual mentions, myself. And with that, "along with playing in the NFL" meets no notability criterion on Wikipedia. Simple participation criteria has been deprecated, full stop. That you don't like that outcome is apparent, but no one's personal approval is required for consensus to take place.

I wouldn't say a book giving someone a multi-para bio as well as mentioning that subject on eight different pages is just a "casual mention."

Keep - I'm persuaded that Bobadash/Bobidosh meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines based on the sources provided above by BeanieFan11; that said, it appears the page should be moved to Alex Bobidosh (per
WP:COMMONNAME) and E. Bobadash should be kept as a redirect.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Relisting. Is there any definitive way to come up with an accurate identification/name? Please do not move the article though during this AFD discussion. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, LizRead!Talk!02:12, 28 November 2022 (UTC)reply
