This is a nomination based on a strong objection to the procedure used. ] says quite clearly "Speedy delete, Speedy or CSD mean that the user thinks the article qualifies for one of the narrow speedy deletion criteria. If there are no objections, the deletion discussion may be closed early. If the decision is contested, the AFD discussion continues." According to this, the AFD discussion should have continued. Not only did I object to the speedy on that AFD discussion, but also someone had already moved the speedy tag on the article itself, done it again after another speedy was added the same day by a different person, and had removed a prod tag on the same article. Furthermore, the prod tag should never have been there in the first place, because ] says "For articles that do not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, please use Misplaced Pages:Proposed deletion (for deletions likely to meet no opposition)". Obviously, if the speedy tag has been added and removed, it is '''not''' a deletion likely to meet no opposition". Therefore, you need to go to the next clause, "or Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion (for potentially controversial deletions)." ] 14:54, 24 September 2006 (UTC) |

:Note also that when the prod tag was on there earlier today (perhaps yesterday on your clock), notice was given of a five day period for corrective action to be taken. Based on a sense of fairness, whether or not it is specified in the rules, that period should not be shortened by a moving from prod to AFD. ] 15:36, 24 September 2006 (UTC) |

:: '''Response as closer''': I found the article in ], noticed the presence of an AfD tag as well, went to look at the nomination. There I saw the nominator submitting it as a contested Prod, but also stating he would prefer the article speedily deleted even though it was at AfD. |

:::''What I meant by the phrase "to slap a Speedy on it" wasn't "to add a CSD tag to the article again", but rather "to speedily delete this article despite its appearance at AfD", something which frequently occurs for things which have only turned up here because of process.'' -- ], AfD nomination |

:: I made that two people in favour of speedy deletion, and one person opposed to speedy deletion for process reasons, but with no opinion on the actual article. In other words, not one argument in favour of keeping the page. I went back to the article and examined all revisions of the history, decided it did fit into ], deleted it, and closed the nomination. If this wasn't perfectly in line with the deletion policy, I apologize; though speaking in terms of processes I have a feeling ] applies to a certain extent here, not to mention ]. |

:::: OK, fair enough. I accept my decision was incorrect; put the article back so it can be deleted again (and I shall quietly ignore the fact that it will have taken two weeks and five different processes to remove an A7 speedy) – ] 16:25, 24 September 2006 (UTC) |

I'm not sure whether I get a say as the user who nominated the article for deletion, but if so, here 'tis: I don't subscribe to the view that the removal of a speedy or prod tag without any addition of matter to assert/prove notability is "opposition" to deletion in any sense other than the panic felt by a user on seeing that "their article" is up for deletion. Thus, when the CSD tag I'd put on this in the first place was removed, I didn't view it as a controversial deletion which immediately had to appear at AfD - prodding it seemed like a sensible halfway house to allow anyone to make the player more notable than he was at the time. Of course, when a prod is removed (as this one was), there's nowhere else a non-notable article ''can'' go other than AfD. My advocation of someone "slapping a Speedy on it" meant that I was rather hoping an admin would see the listing, realise that this was a clear CSD A7 in spite of that tag not sticking and close the discussion early - I'm not a fan of AfDs hanging around like a bad smell when the subject is patently not notable, and I doubt that anyone else much is either. I accept that I didn't necessarily follow process to the letter in what I did, but surely this is a case of ] (or ] if you prefer) rather than sticking to the rules and (as ] puts it above) "tak two weeks and five different processes to remove an A7 speedy". I certainly reject any notion that I wasn't "playing by the rules" in trying to speed the inevitable deletion of an article. ] - ] (]) 00:03, 25 September 2006 (UTC) |

*'''List at AfD'''. I don't really understand what happened here, but IAR wouldn't apply as there's just as much evidence that keeping this article improves the 'pedia as deleting it at this stage. --] <small>]</small> 21:16, 25 September 2006 (UTC) |

*'''Overturn and list at AfD'''. If the nominator decided to keep recreating the article, AfD is where the debate would end up anyway, so no point in penalizing him for following process. ] // ] 02:27, 27 September 2006 (UTC) |

Nothing there to indicate notability. College players at '''''major''''' sports and '''''major colleges''''' aren't routinely kept. This is a minor college sport and a minor college, and nothing there to indicate that he's notable in that sport or at that college. If you can prove notability, like he's broken every college record or something, then he might pass the bar. But based on the above, he does not.

:Note: It has come to my attention that "Parade College" is a secondary school, not even what in the US would be called a college. This makes this person even less notable than at first glance. ]|] 15:58, 28 September 2006 (UTC) |
