Keep - The references and awards support notability.--Rpclod (talk) 14:11, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - multiple honors are enough to meet WP:ANYBIO, WP:NGRIDIRON is therefore not required —Мандичка^YO 😜 14:18, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimandia, the problem with relying on ANYBIO is that there is very little evidence that the awards the subject received are themselves notable per WP:GNG, or significant or well-knonw. Remember an award sponsored by a magazine, for which the only significant coverage appears in that magazine, is not independent of the subject, and therefore not an acceptable basis for determining notability per GNG.

By honors I meant the Hall of Fame inductions rather than the awards. —Мандичка^YO 😜 14:56, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see being inducted into the Semi-Pro Football Hall of Fame as a notable enough achievement. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:05, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Seems to pass WP:GNG to me instead of failing as the nominator asserts.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:11, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
