David Menocal

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Reads like a vanity page - filled with high school accomplishments and personal recollections (for example, "Menocal punched someone in the face for just standing there"); the primary contributors are two accounts (User:Bamfbencher and User:Worldclassbencher) that appear to have been created solely for writing this article. The subject does not appear to come close to satisfying WP:BIO. From a web search, it would appear that so far he has only been a backup center on the Furman team, not a three-year starter as claimed; here it is mentioned that he is expected to compete for a starting job this year. Also note that the claim of his holding the NCAA bench press record is not supported by the provided reference (and I could not verify this by a web search either).
