Possible hoax. I did some research, and it appears that the statistics are fake, because they haven't been recorded anywhere. Another user tried a PROD, but for some reason, it was reverted and the user warned. I think the user was right in tagging the page for proposed deletion. Besides, I haven't found any significant coverage on this person, and he doesn't appear to have played in a professional league, so he fails WP:ATHLETE even if the article isn't a hoax.

My bad for reverting. Some quick research confirms Lugia2453 is correct. FrostedΔ14 22:28, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

His wiki profile picture is photoshopped. Sayjune (talk) 22:46, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There is some information on him at recruiting web sites, but nothing of the type required to satisfy WP:GNG. Cbl62 (talk) 00:08, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The article was originally declined at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jamane Boyd Jr. The creator then went ahead and moved into mainspace anyway. The creator is called "NFLProspect2014" and has never made an edit outside of this article. Could NFLProspect2014 be Mr. Boyd? Cbl62 (talk) 00:13, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There is an almost complete absence of coverage in independent, reliable sources, let alone in-depth coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources as required by the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG. No specific notability guidelines are applicable per WP:NCOLLATH or WP:NGRIDIRON. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 01:05, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Lacking in references, does not meet WP:NSPORTS and does not achieve notability through WP:GNG nor through any other guideline that I can find. Unable to confirm if it is a hoax at this time, but the image has a portion of the NFL logo in the background and I don't think that meets the standards we seek either. I can find no reason to retain this article.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:57, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No coverage in reliable sources. I suspect this is not a hoax, but playing in a minor development league simply doesn't attract coverage. Even what appears to be their web site (on homestead.com) doesn't list an actual player to provide verifiability. -- Whpq (talk) 17:02, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
