Never played professionally, fails WP:ATH and WP:NSPORT. Eagles 24/7 (C) 20:23, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

  • Preliminary comment/question. There have been 10 college football players nominated for deletion in a 20-minute span today by Eagles247. It will take time to research each of these. Can you confirm that, before nominating, you reviewed the google news hits to determine whether these players had sufficient coverage while playing college ball to meet general notability standards?

  • Keep While it seems that his most widespread news coverage comes from being cut by the Jets, he's also showing some good coverage for his professional play in Europe. Granted, playing pro in Europe is not a "free pass" (at least, I think it shouldn't be), there is enough coverage in my opinion to warrant a stub for this player already.--Paul McDonald (talk) 23:03, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete - Playing pro football in Europe does not create a presumption of notability the way playing in the NFL does, and I just don't see sufficient non-trivial coverage to satisfy WP:GNG. If someone finds such coverage and adds it to the article, I will reconsider my decision, or if he attains sufficient notability in the future the article can be re-created then. cmadler (talk) 13:27, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete. While I strongly disagree that news coverge has to be in the "national" news media to satisfy general notability standards, I don't see enough significant news coverage focusing on Missant even at the regional/state levels. If Paul McDonald or others can point to coverage that I may have overlooked, I will reconsider my opinion. Cbl62 (talk) 22:52, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
