[edit] Billy Vinnedge
Per WP:ATHLETE, this individual has not yet played in a professional game and therefore is not notable - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 15:31, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Keep Actually, I think it deserves to be kept. First of all, he has "competed at the highest level in amateur sports" (from WP:ATHLETE). Also, there is a good chance he will play in an NFL game at some point, and then this article will just be created again.

- Delete without prejudice against recreation if he actually makes the team and plays. I've been speedy tagging quite a number of other articles on other undrafted free agent rookies by the same author, and most have been confirmed. Only a small percentage of these guys actually see the field in a regular season game, and until they do, they aren't notable. --Finngall talk 16:00, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- Delete but, place relevant information in the "undrafted" section of the 2008 NFL Draft article. Not yet played at the highest level but, very well may come the preseason Jasynnash2 (talk) 09:17, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
