delete, per WP:NGRIDIRON does not meet notability requirements. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 22:56, 27 January 2014 (UTC) Hell In A Bucket (talk) 22:56, 27 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep, article has been active for over two years now, and only now has it been considered for deletion. Also, per WP:NGRIDIRON no college athlete is notable, but yet there are many articles that have been created. This article had no issues when the subject of the article was a freshman, so why now, as he is going pro, is there an issue? Canadalovesnd 23:24, 27 January 2014 (UTC)


 * The fact that he has had an article for a length of time does not preclude deletion discussions. I definitely have no prejudice to republishing when/if he is drafted. You are correct, Gridiron does indeed deal with the professional aspect more, I do not believe he meets WP:NCOLLATH either. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 23:33, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
 * As mentioned, the length of time the article has existed is irrelevant, and so is any other stuff. - The Bushranger One ping only 01:48, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete the sources in the article do not appear to be the types of sources we depend on for establishing notability and I can find no other sources online. Therefore, it appears that the subject does not pass WP:GNG.  Would reconsider if proper sources were provided or another notability standard were raised.--Paul McDonald (talk) 04:45, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - Basic failure of WP:NSPORTS. Obvious delete. Absent substantial coverage, college athletes aren't notable. In contrast, see Tim Tebow's page, which existed prior to his NFL career. Canadalovesnd's exaggerated concern is nothing to worry about. We have notability guidelines for a reason. Shadowjams (talk) 14:08, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete A good college player but not notable enough for inclusion in this encyclopedia. Fails WP:GNG, WP:NSPORTS, and any other notability measure I can find.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:12, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
