  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 10:47, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, not a notable sportsperson, really, even if it is true. Lankiveil 12:20, 19 April 2007 (UTC).
  • Question not what I usually comment on, but I thought that being a starter on a major college football team for two seasons was N? DGG 04:37, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I added a references tag, but notability is established in this article. Scarykitty 04:42, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Try doing a google search for him. Granted, Google does not mean notability, but "Billy Jack Haskins" finds only 473 G hits, quite small for someone playing quarterback at a division I university in the last decade. The article has not reputable sources (nor does it really have a shot at them, by the looks of the google search) and on that note alone should be deleted, or at least made into a 2-3 sentence stub.--Thomas.macmillan 05:14, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep There is enough WP:RS material to write an attributable article on the topic. Thus, the topic does meet Wikipedia notability guidelines and can meet Wikipedia article policy standards. "Who can forget the Billy Jack Haskins game at Commonwealth Stadium in 1995 when the Wildcats jumped out to a huge first-half lead only to watch the Vols storm back and pin a 34-31 loss on UK?"-- Jreferee 01:29, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete He was starting QB in Division IA for one year. He never played professionally, or for a collegiate championship, so he's not notable. YechielMan 05:27, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
