• Delete Jeff Rife, who at one time is said to have held a national record among high school football players, still does not appear to be notable enough for his own separate page. One could mention this in the article Point Pleasant, West Virginia. I'd point out that we don't have an article about Point Pleasant Junior/Senior High School [1] or Mason County Schools.

• Keep National Record for Average Yards Per Catch - Season/ Career as instructions by wikipedia have been followed User:Jedii2012

The one instruction that hasn't been followed is the requirement for a source of the information. Other persons who attempt to track such things (for instance this one declare that the record for a season is 25.8 yards per reception, set during the 1996 season by Greg Washington of Nashville, Arkansas, based on 90 receptions totalling 2,321 yards. That's based upon a minimum of 75 receptions in a season. I haven't found anything that refers to Jeff Rife holding a record. Mandsford (talk) 20:26, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• The page Jeff Rifehas already beenDeletedUser:Jedii2012

The primary issue is that the article does not establish notability of itself. It needs to reference a book, newspaper article, webpage, something of that nature where this topic is discussed. Check out WP:RS and WP:V for a lengthier explanation. —Charles Edward ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 19:15, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Obvious hoax, most likely an autobiography. Eagles 24/7 (C) 20:51, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Not a hoaxKeep most organizations have differing criteria for record eligibility as does NOF. We are deeply offended by these ignorant postings as to the facts that are presented. The statistics are there and we added this article because of its significance.user:jedii2012

• Comment - Then prove it. And who is "we"? Eagles 24/7 (C) 21:31, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Proof? I am reading it out of the book and as to "we" you would be embarassed as you probably are of the Eagles, I know I would be. This story will appear in several national publications in the near future so your opinion doesn't matter. The statistics we compile are based on true facts and we are sorry if you are offended by our style. Maybe you should help the New York Times with their editing. We do not operate according to your timelines. This article was constructed under the guidance of wikipedia not clowns from the peanut gallery. We will be leaving wikipedia and deleting the article due to the ignorance and impatience of certain others. User:Jedii2012
