- Keep: 30 games played in the NFL, with 22 of them as a starter, is ABSOLUTELOY notable. They were also a second-team All-Pro in 1926. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:42, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Are you kidding me? Williams was an important player on the Bulldogs' undefeated 1923 football team, one of the greatest teams in NFL history, was named Second-Team All-Pro (in case you don't know what that means, he was the second-best NFL player at his position!), and played in a total of 30 games!

- Keep. I'm on an extended semi-wikibreak, but I had to participate here. At the very least, ignoring all rules makes sense here, and I don't have to say anything that BeanieFan11 and Hey man im josh didn't already. A former All-Pro selection in the National Football League is more than enough to have a standalone article. It also seems important to remember that sources from the 1920's were significantly less prominent than now (if I'm wrong about this, somebody please correct me.) I believe this was sent to AfD in good faith, but this one doesn't make alot of sense to me. SPF121188 20:56, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- Comment, suggest moving to Joe Williams (American Footballer) or something similar, since much of the world has absolutely no idea that a guard is anything to do with a US sport, and may wonder whether he's a security guard, a railway guard, or a Grenadier guard, or whatever guards might exist local to them.
