[edit] Bret Eddins
This person seems to fail WP:BIO because he never actually has played in the NFL. He is not listed on the New York Giants' 2006 roster and this site makes it appear like he was cut before the 2005 season, the same season in which he was signed by the Giants as an undrafted free agent. This means he never played a down of professional football. He doesn't seem to be all that remarkable as a collegiate player, so that won't carry him by notability standards. Unless sources can be found to show that he played in the NFL, I don't see how it means notability standards. Metros232 13:45, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- Weak Delete. Searches don't reveal that he played in either the NFL, the CFL, or NFL Europa (all fully professional leagues - Wikipedia isn't for NFL players only). Unless he was a notable star at Auburn I can't see that he passes WP:BIO. --Charlene 15:31, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Obviously sources that confirm that he played in those leagues too would suffice, I was just saying NFL because it claimed he played in the NFL. Metros232 15:35, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- Pedigree Bret Eddins played football at Auburn University, the alma mater of Jimmy Wales. I think that ought to be stroeng enough for Wikipedia.La'ShonQua 15:35, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
