The article makes no assertion of notability. Jordan Dangerfield was an undrafted free agent who was released before playing a single snap of professional football. That's not enough to satisfy WP:NGRIDIRON and there is no non-trivial coverage. There are dozens of such prospective NFL players every year and they aren't notable for being on the preseason team. Further, as an article about a player not in the news (because he's not playing) it's not being updated. At the time I encountered the article on October 23 it still claimed he played for Buffalo, even though he'd been released nearly two months ago. After fixing the references I proposed the article for deletion; the article's author removed the PROD tag on October 29 with a minor edit (no edit summary). That's his right but it's unhelpful. In sum, it's a non-notable stub with no prospect of expansion. Mackensen (talk) 12:36, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
- Delete - Fails WP:NGRIDIRON and any secondary coverage I can find seems to be WP:ROUTINE. In the future, Mackensen, you may want to have grouped these three athletes together since the circumstances for their AfD are nearly identical. Sulfurboy ( talk) 17:52, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

- Keep article does assert notability. I'm finding widespread coverage for his college playing career and should be enough to pass WP:GNG. References should be added to the article.-- Paul McDonald ( talk) 13:43, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
- Comment' Paul McDonald, could you point to some of these sources that you found that aren't WP:ROUTINE in case someone wanted to improve the article? Because I couldn't find any... Sulfurboy ( talk) 17:44, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
