a WP:BEFORE search on Newspapers.com for both "Otis Redinger" and "Ruel Redinger" yields no results. There's one book on him saying he played at Penn State and joined the Army, but otherwise no go. Therapyisgood (talk) 19:17, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, American football, and Pennsylvania. Spiderone 19:27, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: He played 7 games in the NFL based off Pro-Football-Reference, that absolutely makes him notable. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:46, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Per IAR and GNG. Redinger played 7 games in the National Football League, including 5 as a starter, and has received lots of coverage: he's been mentioned in historical football books , and plenty of newspapers (even in the New York Times! Twice!) – (which mentions him 23 times) etc. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:18, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- First four book mentions are only in passing (yes, I looked at them), I can't access The New York Times references but based on their length and the title of one I would find it hard to believe he's notable based on those. I'm looking at the others now. Therapyisgood (talk) 06:26, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep it's hard to find sources – at least without making a genuine effort – for players who played so long before the internet age. That's not a valid reason to delete. LEPRICAVARK (talk) 22:52, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per sources provided by BeanieFan11. Seems the subject's common name may actually be "Pete Redinger". Jweiss11 (talk) 23:59, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect I looked at the sources found by BeanieFan11 but unfortunately I don't think they are enough for the subject to pass WP:GNG so I recommend a redirect to the List of Canton Bulldogs players. Note that !votes based on WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES and playing a game in the NFL equals notability are not policy based and should be discounted. Alvaldi (talk) 10:39, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep and I don't want to play waste-the-editors-time by commenting on each of the blitz of nominated articles, so please let me know which ones are close enough to comment on. Isn't there a rule about more than 11 nominations on the field at the same time (or am I thinking of something else...). ~~
