Player statistics

Please add his player statistics. Thanks. TomCat4680 (talk) 21:18, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Can someone please fix Template:Infobox CollegeFootballPlayer so it doesn't show gobly goop next to his position? TomCat4680 (talk) 12:43, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

More biographical info

Anybody got a source for his birthday? How about his major in college (broadcasting or journalism I'm guessing?) TomCat4680 (talk) 12:46, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

How about if he's married and or has any kids? If so a brief mention of their names, age, anniversary, etc. would be good. TomCat4680 (talk) 02:23, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

His dad

Hi I noticed someone red linked his dad. I found really detailed biography of Art, Sr. and made it a ref so in case anyone wants to start an article about him that's probably all the info needed. TomCat4680 (talk) 02:54, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

New England Patriots

I can't find a source for the life of me but I swear to God that Brandy was drafted by the Pats and cut out of training camp. --MichiganCharms (talk) 05:18, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Interesting. I don't see his name on 1972 NFL Draft though. Its probably mentioned in one of his books... TomCat4680 (talk) 05:52, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

maintenance templates

To editor TomCat4680: The citations here include stuff the subject wrote, as well as stuff published by the subject's employers: the University of Michigan and the Detroit Lions. Removing the tags as you have doesn't solve this problem. (I am not watching this page, so please ping me if you want my attention.) Chris Troutman (talk) 21:01, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

He doesn't work for the Lions any more and the rest of them are mostly TV stations or newspapers he has nothing to do with.TomCat4680 (talk) 21:03, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Agree with Tomcat. Cbl62 (talk) 21:03, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Then you'd be wrong, Cbl62. It seems you're a partisan for UM football, so I ask that you please reexamine your familiarity with Wikipedia norms before letting your fandom mislead you. The sources on this article are insufficient; the least you could have done, To editor TomCat4680: is put your objection in an edit summary. As I mentioned on your talk page, this is a collaborative project but you don't seem to want to collaborate. I don't see a claim of general notability here, so this might be deleted. (I am not watching this page, so please ping me if you want my attention.) Chris Troutman (talk) 21:21, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Read the sources again, the only ones directly affiliated with the subject are the two books he wrote and his small company (that's three out of 15). The article already survived a deletion discussion too. I'm not claiming "ownership" of anything either, please stop assuming bad faith. TomCat4680 (talk) 21:28, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

I re-added the templates anyway. I shouldn't have removed them without a consensus. TomCat4680 (talk) 21:50, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

I do have some familiarity with Wikipedia norms, CT. You may want to have a look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jim Brandstatter where the overwhelming consensus was to "Keep". Cbl62 (talk) 21:45, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
