never played in NFL game (fails WP:NSPORTS and I don't think that an article saying him and 10 other UFAs were signed, his college player bio, an article about the Bears releasing several players, and a transactions page on NFL.com qualifies as "significant coverage" per WP:GNG Go Phightins!

 * Delete fails WP:GNG and does not attain notability through any other measure I can find. Could clear it in the future, of course...--Paul McDonald (talk) 22:38, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. At this time, the subject does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:NGRIDIRON.  Gongshow  Talk 05:00, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Yes, I added a source, but still fails WP:NGRIDIRON and WP:GNG. Same applies to Long Ding, which I PROD'd.  Zappa  O  Mati   22:15, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Eh, never mind about the Long Ding bit. Just had the PROD removed.  Zappa  O  Mati   22:17, 4 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. Subject is not entitled to a presumption of notability under WP:NCOLLATH or WP:NGRIDIRON; notability must be established under general notability requirements of WP:GNG.  My Google News Archive search reveals a lot of hits of a routine post-game nature and also transactional coverage of him foregoing his senior year to enter the 2012 NFL Draft (where he was a complete bust).  Four of the five sources cited in the article are not independent of the subject (WyomingCowboysAthletics.com, NFL.com, ChicagoBears.com (2)), and therefore cannot support notability per WP:GNG.  Fifth cited source is a blog on a local radio station's website, and should be given minimal credit for establishing notability.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:14, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not finding non-trivial coverage in mainstream media outlets.  Cbl62 (talk) 22:12, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
