• Keep. Meets NSPORTS by playing in CFL. Meets GNG via [http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/martino-given-the-boot-1.298928], [http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/Calgary/2008/08/17/6480901-sun.html], [http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/martino-back-with-lions-1.269477]. There is likely to be more articles out there like these. Patken4 (talk) 00:38, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
• Snow keep per {{U|Patken4}} and per WP:NGRIDIRON. Not only played multiple years in the CFL, he was repeatedly named as a league or division All-Star.

• Keep as a straight-up WP:NGRIDIRON pass. Martino played 15 years in the CFL, and was a two-time Grey Cup champion. Ejgreen77 (talk) 14:28, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
• Keep, and easily could be a Speedy Keep if anyone is paying attention. According to CFLapedia, subject played for four different CFL teams between 1988 and 2002. I'm still trying to track down the number of games in which he appeared, but this guy was a multi-year starter, not a scrub, and clearly satisfies WP:NGRIDIRON. My tentative review of a Google News search also suggests that he probably satisfies the general notability guidelines, too, with significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources per WP:GNG.

• Keep He has been called "a better-than-average punter" (see [http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/Calgary/2008/08/17/6480901-sun.html here]) in a second-tier professional football league. Cbl62 (talk) 17:13, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
