Ben Habern

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unsure what to do with this article, therefore I am seeking consensus here. Habern was a highly-recruited football player out of high school, and had a promising career at Oklahoma that was cut short by injuries. He retired before playing in the NFL. I wonder now, whether he is notable or not per WP:ATHLETE. (On a sidenote, that article's creator Habe35 is a single-purpose account, and might be in a conflict of interest.) bender235 (talk) 16:05, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep passes WP:GNG with widespread news coverage. For example, Dallas Morning News, "OU’s Ben Habern has what it takes to make wise NFL decision"; ESPN, "Jamell Fleming, Ben Habern to return"; and USA Today, "OU's Habern, Lewis on preseason watch lists" are just three quick examples.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:36, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep while his college athletic career may be over, he did generate enough coverage to pass the GNG while he was playing and especially as a result of his career-ending injury:1, 2, 3. As notability is not temporary, the end of his career does not negate the coverage he generated during (or even at the end of) it. --Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 18:54, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Saying he's notable because of the coverage he got for his injury sounds like BLP1E to me.204.126.132.231 (talk) 20:02, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I believe the comment is "he did generate enough coverage to pass the GNG while he was playing and especially as a result of his career-ending injury" so there's more than one event.--Paul McDonald (talk) 21:18, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Thank you, Paul. --Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 21:20, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
