The article Troy Clegg has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki 15:47, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, you generally have to be a pro player to be automatically notable. A college player's notability would have to be supported by reliable independent sources. NawlinWiki 17:50, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

How do i properly cite him? he is on NCAA rosters and the schools website.


 * Those aren't *independent* sources. Sources that merely list every player on a college team don't establish the notability of a particular player.  Look for news articles etc., and see WP:BIO. NawlinWiki 17:55, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

ok and what about the height though, they do point out his height, and he is one of the tallest NCAA players, im actually trying to prove he is the tallest, he is actually 6'10" now, and im trying to find someone taller on other rosters.


 * You need a source saying that he is notable for being 6'10". It's not enough for his stats page to say he's 6'10', and for you to assert that this makes him notable.  See Verifiability. NawlinWiki 18:01, 2 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Also, the end of the article indicates that this guy has never even *appeared* in a college varsity game. Just having a tall guy on a roster doesn't equal notability. NawlinWiki 18:02, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
