Comment – if this should end up being deleted, my request (as author) is to have it be redirected to Hammond Ciesar All-Americans while keeping the redirect in some of the current categories. Specifically: 1917 births, 2007 deaths, Chattanooga Mocs men's basketball players, and Hammond Ciesar All-Americans players. We don't want to lose all history of this player's tenure in the NBL, and I think it'd be a fair compromise to allow the redirect to populate the applicable categories.

Eh. Seems arbitrary to redirect there, rather than to Chattanooga Mocs men's basketball. Mach61 (talk) 22:43, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
He was more known for being a professional player than a college one, not particularly arbitrary. SportsGuy789 (talk) 23:04, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment He seems to have also played college football for Chattanooga per "McComb, coming U.C. ace, skipped high school grids" Alvaldi (talk) 23:12, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. When no sources have been uncovered to meet SPORTSCRIT, the article should be deleted. Does not appear to meet GNG.

@JoelleJay: What's wrong with this source to qualify for SPORTCRIT? BeanieFan11 (talk) 01:59, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What encyclopedic info do we gain from that? The only material would be this particular reporter's very subjective personal opinions on his candidacy for a spot on the team. We can't write an article entirely around quotes. JoelleJay (talk) 02:57, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
