Unnotable. Link provided (here) only provides a short amount of statistics. A Google search without quotes returns many irrevelant results, with quotes only returns 950 as can be seen here. The article is also a one sentence page. anger2headshot 03:31, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong keep not only did he play 10 years, but he is in the University of California's Hall of Fame. Balloonman 03:55, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy keep because the nominator probably did not notice the fact that the subject played extensively in a professional sports league. Notability is not a problem. YechielMan 04:09, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Keep Last I checked, professional athletes were keepers. This case is even above and beyond that low threshold. If you don't like an article because its short, then expand, not delete the article. —Gaff ταλκ 04:33, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong Keep Playing one game professionally at the highest level is enough to satisfy WP:BIO. He played a few more than one game. Resolute 04:48, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I suggest the nominator does a bit more homework on Wikipedia notability rules before nominating any similar articles too. Nick mallory
