WP:SPORTBASIC (prong 5) and
WP:GNG. I created this article in 2020 when NGRIDIRON created a presumption of notability for those who played in the NFL. (Strickland played 3 games as a guard in the NFL of 1923.) Having gone back to the article, I can't find SIGCOV and believe it should be deleted under the new standards

Withdrawn. Thanks, Beanie. I've also found coverage of his later coaching career at Carthage (e.g.
[1][2],
[3]). I do find it telling that the coverage we've found makes no mention of his three-game
cup of coffee in the early NFL. While the coverage appears sufficient to save the Strickland article, it actually reinforces the fact that the NFL of the early 1920s was not a big deal -- and not something that generated SIGCOV for its non-star participants.
