Branden Bowen

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Branden Bowen fails WP:NGRIDIRON. He has not played a game in a qualifying league (see: PFR page), nor has he coached in a qualifying capacity. Outside of this, he has received only routine, run-of-the-mill sports coverage. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 21:27, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep Failing NGRIDIRON is irrelevant if he meets GNG—which—it appears he does per the following: Corner Canyon Branden Bowen OL, former Utah commit, chooses Ohio State from The Salt Lake Tribune; Ohio State’s Branden Bowen out after third leg surgery from BuckeyeExtra.com (originally The Columbus Dispatch); Branden Bowen to Ohio State: What it means from SB Nation; Who is Branden Bowen? After up-and-down college career, big offensive lineman hopeful to make it in NFL from the Deseret News; Branden Bowen proved he can be asset at NFL level from On3.com; and Buckeyes' Bowen emotional after getting starting role from The Akron Beacon Journal (via Newspapers.com).

 * To respond source-by-source:
 * The article from The Salt Lake Tribune describes his commitment to Ohio State, is in-depth, and is independent. In line with WP:YOUNGATH I'm a bit hesitant to count local coverage of the athlete from that period of time.
 * The Columbus Dispatch, reprinted on BuckeyeExtra.com appears to be the epitome of WP:ROUTINE sports coverage that describes that the article subject broke his leg.
 * SportsBlog Nation's Ohio State blog is a blog.
 * Deseret is reliable for local news and is independent, but it's also not clearly in-depth coverage that would contribute to notability.
 * On3 appears to be a niche Ohio State sportsblog.
 * Taken together, while he's marginal on WP:GNG, I'm not sure that this extent of coverage is enough for notability—especially given the lack of any sort of coverage outside of his home area and the local Columbus area. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 00:04, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
 * If you're going to substantially modify your comment after I responded, as you did here, would you please indicate it explicitly in the text that you insert? And, that so-called "The Akron Beacon Journal" source is a reprint of an article from The Columbus Dispatch, which describes how the player is now once again playing football now that his leg is healed. It's more routine hometown coverage of a local college sports team. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 00:40, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

 * keep passes WP:GNG. Not all the sources provided look usable for notability, but enough are to show a pass.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:54, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
