 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Bringing to AfD after de-PROD. My arguments are the same as ones I gave in a recent discussion to delete Myles Eden, another San Jose State quarterback:

As a former college football quarterback, he did not meet WP:NCOLLATH nor did he become a professional that meets WP:NGRIDIRON. He does not meet WP:GNG with multiple sources of significant coverage from independent sources. There is lots of Google hits, but the sources are mostly just his name mentioned as part of normal game coverage, or a few lines of WP:ROUTINE pre-game coverage about practices or trivial quotes about upcoming opponents. Most of the major sources are from the Bay Area News Group local papers of San Jose Mercury News or Oakland Tribune. Per GNG, "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability." If major coverage can be uncovered and his WP:IMPACT can be explained as more than a WP:Run-of-the-mill college QB, I can reconsider. Starting college quarterbacks as a group are not automatically notable, let alone one that only started a few games. I ask that the discussion not be WP:BOMBARDed with any and all coverage. —Bagumba (talk) 06:00, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment I contested the PROD, and not because I believe the subject is notable, but because I believe the subject may or may not be notable and would like to have some more discussion first--and hte article does at least have an assertion of notabilty. My initial reviews lead me to believe that I may come down on the same side as the nominator, but I want to take some more time to research to be sure--it's a fairly common name and sorting out all the information may take a bit of time.  To do that process, I've found that input from others speeds up the process.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:07, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. I don't even see an assertion of notability -- being a 1-year starter on a 2-9 WAC team hardly qualifies. I'm also not really finding anything in the way of non-trivial coverage. cmadler (talk) 13:56, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per the Myles Eden decision - no awards or notability criteria met for Rogers either. Andrewlp1991 (talk) 06:32, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
