Hi Tony,

Thanks for creating the article on Jazmon harris. While it's true that anyone can create an article on (nearly) anything on wikipedia, it's also true that articles can be deleted just as easily. There's quite a bit of community wisdom that has accrued over the years concerning what ought to be kept, and one of the bright-line rules deals with notability: the subject of the article has to be notable in the wikipedia sense of that term. For college athletes, the guidelines are pretty clear (and can be found at this link: WP:NCOLLATH). Basically, they have to have received significant amounts of news coverage. If that's not (yet) the case for Jazmon, then the article will probably be deleted sooner rather than later.

If you have any questions about this, check out the teahouse (WP:TEAHOUSE). It's designed specifically to help new editors find their way around.

Best,
