Unnotable football journalist. Only references are to work he has written and an interview with himself. RealDealBillMcNeal (talk) 22:44, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep - Passes WP:GNG due to significant coverage in the media. 36,700 google hits and 814 recent google news hits. IJA (talk) 16:34, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - Does he pass that? One of the criteria is "Independent of the subject". The entirety of the first ten pages are either journalist index pages or articles he has wrote. There's no disputing he is a journalist, but how is he notable? RealDealBillMcNeal (talk) 16:53, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Delete: Quotes from a subject and articles by a subject (short of the Prof Test) are explicitly debarred from supporting the notability of the subject. Anyone got any reliable sources discussing the subject in significant detail?  Haven't found any.  Nha Trang  Allons! 20:15, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
