I'm not finding the needed coverage for this subject to meet the WP:SPORTSBASIC or WP:GNG. Let'srun (talk) 20:18, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

- It can be redirected to 1924 Duluth Kelleys season where information about the players should be included. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:23, 22 April 2026 (UTC)
- Honestly, sorry Beanie, but I'm not sure the point of redirecting it to 1924 Duluth Kelleys season even if his name was there. Searching for "Allen MacDonald" in the Wikipedia search bar gives 38 results. Why would someone typing Allen MacDonald want to be taken to that season article only? ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 17:14, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
- Redirect to Alan McDonald. As noted by WikiOriginal-9, Allen McDonald is too common to be a redirect to the 1924 Duluth Kelleys. A better alternative would be to redirect to the Alan McDonald disambiguation page which expressly encompasses various alternative spellings, including this one. We should add Allen McDonald (American football) to the existing dab page and redirect that to the 1924 Duluth Kelleys season. Cbl62 (talk) 18:05, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
- Redirect to Alan McDonald, per Cbl62. WidgetKid Converse 22:24, 26 April 2026 (UTC)
- Redirect per previous. Certainly not notable on his ownn. Geschichte (talk) 12:51, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
