 * Delete for now. Here's a case of WP:TOOSOON if I ever saw one. Delete as of now, but if BJ ends up going high in the draft, reconsider the decision. In the best interest of Wikipedia, ~Ngeaup (talk) 19:36, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Being a "prospect" is a sign of not yet being notable--WP:TOOSOON. He fails to meet WP:GNG, WP:NGRIDIRON, or WP:NCOLLATH. 204.126.132.231 (talk) 21:30, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Not notable as of now. Most of the coverage I'm seeing is all routine.--Yankees10 17:26, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep there is more than enough coverage in reliable mainstream sources on his college career to surpass WP:GNG: 1-CBSSports "VIDEO: B.J. Catalon returns a kick 94 yards for the score"; 2-Alabama.com "Watch TCU's B.J. Catalon 'play dead' in end zone on kickoff return ruse vs. Oklahoma"; 3-SB Nation "Why longtime underdog TCU is a 2015 national championship favorite"; 4-Dallas Morning News "How TCU plans to cope with toughest stretch in more than half a century"; 5-ESPN.com "Rewind: Baylor 61, TCU 58" ; 6-Fox Sports "Ranking the top 10 most viral college football stories of 2014 "; There are hundreds more, and they go far beyond just a mention-in-passing.--Paul McDonald (talk) 04:33, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Those are all seem extremely routine to me.--Yankees10 04:56, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Feature articles are not routine. WP:NOTROUTINE explains.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:27, 26 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - Non-notable college football player. I just reviewed the six links provided by Paul above.  None of them constitute a "feature" article (a feature article is in-depth coverage of the subject, where the subject is the primary topic of the article), one of them is a blog (SBNation), three of them are primarily video clips (CBSSports.com, Alabama.com), and the others fall somewhere between trivial mentions and routine post-game coverage.  One and two-sentence mentions do not constitute significant coverage.  That being said, this guy is on the sports media's radar screen, and I suspect he will be the subject of multiple features in the run-up to the start of the 2015 season, cementing his notability under the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG.  The closing admin should offer to userfy this article for the creator or anyone who requests it.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 14:07, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
