Creation Protection[edit]

Please note that the reason this is being sent through the AfC process is that Ryan King article in the mainspace is currently creation protected. RHaworth, the administrator who applied the protection, requested that I put this article through AfC to ensure the recreation of the page would be uncontroversial. As such, it's my understanding that an administrator will need to create the actual page or remove the protection when it is eventually approved, although I could be wrong on that. ~ Rob^Talk 03:39, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@RHaworth: Please could you unprotect Ryan King? They clearly pass WP:NGRIDIRON, having made appearances in the CFL. I would have no hesitation in accepting this article were it not create protected. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:53, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
