 * Comment WP:SPORT is just a draft of a guideline. You shouldn't be using it here. Rose was one of the six cover subjects for SLAM Magazine ' 2006 "Punks" special. In addition, there are 530 Google News hits for "Derrick Rose" + basketball. He's already received enough significant coverage from national sources that he probably passes the general notability criteria. Zagalejo ^ ^  ^  19:10, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
