I am unable to find enough coverage of this American football player to meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTSPERSON. The most I did find was a few sentences here, which is not totally unsurprising considering he was a replacement player who played three NFL games. JTtheOG ( talk) 20:38, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: I can't find mentions of his playing career in newspapers or a Gnews search. I don't see notability based on a lack of sourcing. Oaktree b ( talk) 22:39, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I couldn't find anything either on Newspapers.com. NewsLibrary used to have a lot stuff that wasn't on Newspapers.com but you have to pay now to even search for stuff. Hopefully, someone else has better luck but I'm not hopeful since he's an offensive lineman. Pre 2022, I would normally just vote Keep since Ori is someone who played in real games, not just preseason or practice squad. ~WikiOriginal-9~ ( talk) 01:31, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Comment. I'm thinking that this guy may have been a replacement player who played as a result of the 1987 NFL player's strike? If so, that could explain the lack of coverage for him. Ejgreen77 ( talk) 11:46, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delete fails WP:GNG. The three games he played in were the three games during the strike. Best, GPL93 ( talk) 21:17, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. Fails WP:SPORTBASIC, prong 5: "Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources." Cbl62 ( talk) 12:14, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- A number of passing mentions and brief things of course – I could probably write a decent start-class article but I'd likely be wasting my time... An article on the 1987 Minnesota Vikings replacement players, with biographies of everyone (and the same for all teams) we deem non-notable would probably work.
