[edit] Derek Abney
American football player who was on the books of the Baltimore Ravens and the Chicago Bears, but released by both without playing a game. Currently a free agent, according to the article. The only other information included is from his days at university. Non notable for never having played a game, and now seemingly unlikely to. AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 23:45, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
- Delete No recent activity, and I agree that he probably won't. Also non-notable in the first place. Master of Puppets Care to share? 06:42, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
Delete- as an athlete who is not played a game in top league of his sport. -- Whpq (talk) 17:24, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - changing to keep in light of the report of NCAA records. Note that none of this is in the article itself, and wouild need to be a bit more specific than a by-the-way mention of NCAA records with no details. As such I've tagged the article with {{unref}}. -- Whpq (talk) 20:33, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- Keep based on college records alone, despite his lack of NFL playing time. This article says he set 5 NCAA records in 2002. Perhaps he is notable based on his college-level accomplishments at a division one school? He already has mention in a Wikipedia article to verify. Also this USAtoday article confirms at least one of his records, and would serve as an independent source. Keeper | 76 21:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - as per above. Alex (talk) 15:27, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
