Fails both WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC, prong 5. I created this stub in July 2020, when playing in the NFL created a presumption of notability. (Mehelich appeared in eight games as a guard for the Red Jackets in 1929.) Under current guidelines, there is no longer a presumption. I have searched extensively for WP:SIGCOV and came up empty.

- Comment. Could be redirected to 1929 Minneapolis Red Jackets season, then, but for some reason he is not mentioned there. Adding him could bolster the squad list in the article, which needs references, players' age during the 1929 season, and matches played during that season.

- Comment He played in eight games (starting half). The team only played 10 games that year. ~WikiOriginal-9~ ( talk) 20:04, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Playing in the NFL (especially in the 1920s) is no longer a basis for notability. I've searched extensively for SIGCOV and came up empty. Cbl62 ( talk) 20:09, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to 1929 Minneapolis Red Jackets season: Subject lacks the needed WP:SIGCOV to meet the WP:GNG at this time. A redirect makes sense as a WP:ATD. I've gone ahead and listed Mehelich on the roster there. Let'srun ( talk) 13:31, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to 1929 Minneapolis Red Jackets season per all above. Also could not find any significant coverage of the subject. Eagles 24/7 (C) 16:01, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
