[edit] Mark Affleck
Fails WP:BIO. Backup quarterback for a minor-league football team. May assert that he is notable, but does not assert anything notable. Also, violates WP:AUTO and WP:COI. Evb-wiki 12:53, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Doesn't appear to meet notability criteria for people. There's also a clear conflict of interest seeing as the trivia section is made up of information that would have to come from the subject himself.-Wafulz 13:17, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Well, he plays in a league that cannot be considered "minor league." The PPL must be semi professional because I can't find anything about it. The most popular result on google for the name Mark Affleck is a CEO, not an unknown football player. My guess is that this guy plays in someone's backyard. Clearly, notability is not established in the article, and until he plays for a more well known team, it probably won't be. --Cyrus Andiron 14:09, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Delete: I suspect hoax. I've only three hits for this "Bunker Hill Bobcats" team he allegedly quarterbacks, and it's the same three hits for a "Panhandle Football Alliance." RGTraynor 14:53, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
- Sack this quarterback. Fails WP:BIO, WP:NOTE and WP:COI. Realkyhick 15:02, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
- Comment The article says he plays for the PFL, which is an NCAA Division I league. According to WP:BIO collegiate sports satisfy this (unless I'm mistaken). Thoughts? --sumnjim talk with me·changes 16:10, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
- Maybe it's a WP:HOAX. "Affleck was selected from Free Agency in the 2003 PFL Expansion Draft by the newly-formed Bunker Hill Bobcats. . . . However, on March 4th, 2007, Affleck agreed to a five-year deal that would keep him with the Bobcats through the 2012 season." Doesn't sound very collegiate. --Evb-wiki 16:28, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Per Wafulz and Realkyhick. MAJ5 (talk) (contribs) 16:22, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
- Keep The bobcats played their home games at Happy Creek School, in Inwood, WV, which is a few blocks away from where I live. They are a semi-pro team, as Darksville, WV has a team as well. The bobcats of the PFL play opposite to the Winchester Tigers from the Mason Dixon Football League. There were tons of yahoo groups that had their old schedule and even a list of playersAbster08 16:36, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete I agree that it does not seem to meet the qualifications for notability. All the redlinks in the article suggest that no one else thinks this league notable enough to create content about. SU Linguist 17:37, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
