[edit] John David Washington

Was speedied, but has a very minor claim for notability (son of...) and what might be a bigger one (I know nothing of American Football) so I removed the tag and went for PROD and {verify} instead. DePRODded with the comment "Removed notability box, added source for info.". The link provided was to a sports news site; digging aroundon it I found this, which verifies the information, but still does nothing for the notability as far as I know. So I'm sending it here, where there be Americans and others who know something about sport! No opinion from me, obviously. ➨ ≡ЯΞDVΞRS≡ 21:02, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

• Son of a very famous actor (Denzel Washington) and just yesterday signed by the St. Louis Rams. This is definitely a Keep. See this article on his signing. Aplomado - UTC 21:12, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Comment prehaps this article could be merged into Denzel's article? Yanksox 21:16, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Don't think so, unless he is cut. If that happens he can be a footnote to his father's page.Insertformulahere

• Keep for now, like the other players who were drafted this week. Revisit if he gets cut from the team before playing a game. Fan1967 21:16, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as a base for a future page for an Athlete. Needs to be stubbed though.--Eyaw Nayr 21:42, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, not just because I created the page, but because he has set some pretty serious records in college ball, and shows much promise for future accomplishment in the sport. Alan 23:45, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, revisit if he never plays an NFL game. Otherwise I believe he fits WP:BIO. Grandmasterka 02:03, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, NFL player gets a page --Deville (Talk) 03:12, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, just about every player drafted and many who signed a free agent deal have at least a stub page. BigDT 17:53, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
