 * Delete. While college football players can meet WP:GNG if they have had significant non-trivial coverage in the mainstream news media, I am not finding such coverage on Evans after searching in Google News, Google News Archive, NewsLibrary, and newspaperarchive.com.  The only mentions I am finding in the mainstream media are routine, passing references in game coverage, as opposed to articles in which Evans is a main subject of coverage.  The only article I found which comes remotely close is an October 5, 2008 game account from the Bristol Herald Courier titled, "Evans TD Reception Gives UVa.-Wise Road Win."  Also, the sources presently included with the article are either trivial or consist of routine roster listings, a school-published (i.e., not independent) web bio, stat listings, or UIFL-published (i.e., not independent) stories.  I am also influenced by the fact that his college career was with a fourth or fifth-tier collegiate program.  UVA at Wise is not even part of the NCAA (which has four tiers of college athletics) but is instead a member of the NAIA.  Absent a stronger showing of non-trivial coverage in mainstream, and independent, media outlets, there's not enough here to pass WP:GNG. Cbl62 (talk) 20:14, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Agree with Cbl's thorough analysis. Does not meet WP:NSPORTS and I can't find any evidence that he meets WP:GNG (and none of the references currently in the article prove that, either). Jenks24 (talk) 22:58, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
