Lewis Manly

  • ... that despite having never played football before, Lewis Manly made his college's team and became "one of the star linemen of his time"?

  • Per WP:QPQ, "A nomination which doesn't include a QPQ (and is not from an exempt nominator) may be closed as "incomplete" without warning." Since there is no QPQ after three days (even though the editor has contributed to other articles during that time) and the article was nominated after the seven-day limit, I do not want to grant the exception for the seven-day limit.
