Talk:Tate Forcier

This has to be the longest article for someone who has accomplished nothing notable on wikipedia. Is wikipedia going to include the college careers of every college player in NCAA history? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.7.162.223 (talk) 07:23, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Initial notability considerations
In the process of editing the page. Forcier is the starting quarterback for the winningest team in College Football history - he certainly merits a page.
 * And yet the page states 'no notable achievements'? Paste  Let’s have a chat. 16:21, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * About to change to "N/A", as the WP:NFL and WP:CFL projects agreed that "No notable achievements" might not fully explain the situation of could be a WP:BLP violation.-- Giants27 ( c  |  s ) 02:01, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Tate's affiliation with the University of Michigan's football program has ended as of 1/12/11, I have added to the information in his 2010 season to reflect this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.167.22.249 (talk) 20:15, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

GA considerations
I'd be reluctant to pass this as a GA right now only due to stability. He's now played three games in college football, meaning that the article is going to change fairly rapidly over the next few months. It can always be re-nommed in January. Wizardman 15:23, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I actually don't expect that the article will change much. Although he is a good quarterback, I don't expect him to be All-conference as a freshman.  Even if he has post season honors, that does not make him much different than other players like Manny Harris. He will have some stats, but that is no different than any other active athlete that you see at FAC.  What changes do you expect that are different than any other active athlete?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 16:07, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm just worried because he hasn't had much of a career yet. I'll defer to Giants. To me it's just a question of there being a double-edged sword. If there's too much updating it may not be stable, if there's no updating then it's not complete. So long as you hold the middle ground it should be okay. Wizardman  17:57, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I tend to have a WP:PROSELINE problem when I do a lot of inseason editing for athletes. I haven't added anything about his three games so far, but up to the start of the season it is exemplary in terms of its breadth and depth.  I really think if an active athlete is notable, he should be eligible for GA regardless of his experience, but I too will defer to the opinions of others.  I will not take this to GAR or anything if it is rejected for prematurity.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 20:38, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I feel I should comment as the soon to be reviewer (I'm about to start it). I'll be reviewing the article as it it now, although I do agree that it could become unstable at some point because not only is he the QB at Michigan but he's a freshman and at such a prostigious program that's unheard of, which IMO makes this a prime vandalism and unsourced edits target.-- Giants 27 ( c  |  s ) 19:37, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

New main image
I personally prefer the old main image during the Notre Dame game to the current one from the Delaware State game. My first thoughts of the new image are him doing a Michael Jackson impersonation with the gloved hand and standing on his toes.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 00:28, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I personally like the new image, because it shows Forcier more prominently instead of him on just the left side of the image.-- Giants 27 ( c  |  s ) 01:17, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

One image too many?
Does anyone agree the cluster of three images towards the bottom of the article is overkill? I think one should be removed and one moved to a different part of the article. --MichiganCharms (talk) 07:27, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Concur. The clustering makes the article look weird. Once it's expanded the moved image can be moved back, but until then something needs to be moved.-- Giants 27  ( Contribs  |  WP:CFL ) 14:05, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
