• Keep Subject passes WP:NGRIDIRON. He played for the Patriots. -Ad Orientem (talk) 13:38, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note that I've been trying to find anything to link the Bill Murphy of the GATA to the Bill Murphy that played for the Patriots, and I'm not finding anything except WP mirrors. Nevermind, I found his blog at https://www.lemetropolecafe.com/ ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 14:14, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Right, so then this would be him. Well, then, he played briefly but well in the NFL, keep. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:20, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Shawn in Montreal: Yup. Is there any formality to withdrawing an AfD or can I just close this discussion and remove the notice from the article? ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 14:21, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be happy to do it for you. Even though I've !voted it's a pretty straightforward and unopposed withdrawal. The Patriots angle was not clear at all when this Afd opened. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:29, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep because he played in the NFL. Lepricavark (talk) 14:21, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
