Fails WP:Athlete. He didn't have a real notable college career. Only reason why the article was created is because his brother is Paul Kruger. Yankees10 22:05, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep - While I agree that doesn't inherit notability, the following are articles on him that satisfy WP:GNG: (which is in the article)  and even this one to an extent. I will stipulate that he doesn't meet WP:ATHLETE, but I believe he meets WP:GNG.  Go   Phightins  !  20:06, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't see how three articles is enough coverage to pass WP:GNG. They are also pretty weak. The first and third one are only in existence because of his brother and the second one is reporting an injury. I don't consider those extensive coverage of him at all.--Yankees10 20:47, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Significant coverage: Three articles that directly mention him and are from reliable sources. The sources are independent of the subject and therefore Kruger should be presumed notable. It's clearly not a violation of WP:DISCRIMINATE or WP:NOT, so I fail to see where I'm going wrong. Yes, there's interpretation into how much coverage one needs for it to be considered "significant", but a couple of news articles usually seem to suffice. Would there be these news articles if he wasn't the brother of Paul Kruger? Maybe not, but they are and the second one is primarily on his injury, meaning the newspaper felt him being injured warranted column inches. To me, that seems to be a passage of WP:GNG.
