A fact from Derrell Robertson appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 29 November 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Robertson is best known for being drafted by dead. If we had an article about Eggink, I'd be fine with a see also. We don't. Since the reader is most likely coming to this page seeking info on Robertson's drafting while dead, it seems a good idea to let him have the related information.--Wehwalt (talk) 15:14, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps I don't understand how wikipedia works (correction, I don't and really have no desire to beyond what is told to me) but why does the lack of an article about one subject justify that subject's placement in another article that is not about the subject matter? (The article is about Robinson, not dead people drafted by CFL teams.) Certainly, there should be articles on Eggink (RIP) and dead CFL draftees, but the lack of them is no reason to start parking stuff in other tenuously related topics. My 2 cents. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.54.32.180 (talk) 15:22, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Third opinion: Perhaps I'm not following, but what does Robertson have to do with Eggink? Is Eggink just another person who was drafted while dead? If that's the case, then it doesn't belong on this page. — HelloAnnyong(say whaaat?!)20:38, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
