• Comment at first glance I tend to agree, but I'm finding some all-conference and all-century recognition for his college days. It may be worth it to let some of the locals at SIU complete some off-line research.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:08, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• He was only a nominee for the all-century team, he ended up not being selected. Eagles 24/7 (C) 16:35, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• My mistake. Not looking too good at this point, is it?--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:14, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• FCS offensive linemen have it rough. Eagles 24/7 (C) 18:27, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• I gotta come down to delete -- generally speaking, offensive lineman do not generate enough press to pass WP:GNG at the college level and that's even more true at the FCS level. I don't see any reason to make an exception here.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:06, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete a non-notable football player.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:41, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Question. This article indicates he played in the CFL in 2009. If true, he passes WP:NGRIDIRON. I've yet to discover a fully reliable database of CFL players. The best I know of is cflpedia which does not include him. Anyone have a better resource for CFL players? Cbl62 (talk) 23:05, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• I like justsportsstats.com, it covers NFL, CFL, AFL, NFL Europe. His page doesn't show any professional games played, however. The CFL transactions page is very good as well, and it says Marquez was cut before the start of the 2009 CFL season on June 25, 2009. Eagles 24/7 (C) 23:12, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. My findings are consistent with what Eagles247 found. This indicates he was released in late June before the regular season began in early July. If someone can present evidence that he actually appeared in a regular season game (or received GNG-type coverage), I'm willing to reconsider. Cbl62 (talk) 23:15, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
