Not notable. Hasn't even started playing football in college. Lacks significant coverage, so no GNG. Mvqr (talk) 18:04, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG. Theroadislong (talk) 18:17, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Even playing college football would not make him notable, however being a signed prospect is laughably below the notability threshold. The article in some ways reads like an overly puffy one, saying he plays Division I, but ignoring the fact that the university he signed with is in the Championship Series, not the Bowl Series, so it is not even a top ranked Division I football location.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:23, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment The article needs some improvement, the reference section mostly contains YouTube links. I added a reference and edited the article to fix issues but it still need improvement. Instead of deletion, I think it can be moved to draft space. Jamalahmadpk (talk) 18:51, 10 January 2022 (UTC) — Jamalahmadpk (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * I object to moving this to draft. It has been spammed over a few different draft pages: Draft:Desmond Cook, Draft:Desmond Cook 12 W&M, Draft:Desmond Cook (William and Mary). It was rejected by AfC, the author removed AfC comments on the drafts. It was placed in article space after being rejected. This subject has no hopes of being notable for at least a couple of years, which is far beyond the normal incubation period for drafts.-- Mvqr (talk) 18:56, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete, found one piece of SIGCOV: . But that is not enough to pass GNG. May be notable in the future, but for now it is WP:TOOSOON. BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:23, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete Does not come close to passing WP:GNG. Also, the article looks to have possibly been written by the subject. Also, Beanie is absolutely correct when he says WP:TOOSOON. Spf121188 (talk) 20:05, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete Wikipedia is not a free web hosting service.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:58, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete as others have noted and strong encouragement for closing admin to salt the related pages. Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 21:55, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Rising player Will take time although my answer is delete but it would be best to move to draft and let it be improved their needs few more independent source to pass WP:GNG so that it can be a stub and remain in mainpage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by २ तकर पेप्सी (talk • contribs)
 * Delete And all of the images are nominated for deletion at Commons because they are admitted as not the creator's "Own work", and very likely copyright protected. David notMD (talk) 22:23, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Strong delete and salt as needed, given the repeated recreation at various locations. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NGRIDIRON WP:NSPORT. Draft:Desmond Cook should be deleted as well. -- Kinu t/c 07:31, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment At best this person might eke by notability guidelines in about 5 years. Playing at what is an essentially a Division 1-B university in football is very unlikely going to be enough for notability, so it will probably wait until he goes pro. However only a small percentage of university football players go pro, so his ever rising to the level of meeting notability guidelines is at this point total crystal specualtion.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:47, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is a high school athlete. Per WP:NHSPHSATH, such "athletes are notable only if they have received, as individuals, substantial and prolonged coverage that is: (1) independent of the subject; and (2) clearly goes beyond WP:ROUTINE coverage", specifically excluding "the majority of local coverage in both news sources and sports specific publications." Cbl62 (talk) 20:21, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete and salt per others. A purely promotional page about a university football football player not passing GNG or NHSPHSATH. AryKun (talk) 05:10, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Technically he is only a perspective university football player. He does not potentially play his first game until the fall. Some freshmen football players redshirt, so it is also possible he will not play his first game until 2023. Also there are cases where things happen that prevent signed perspective players from playing at all. So even his being a university football player is not sure, but it is highly likely. but that in and of itself is nota guarantee of notaiblity, especially at what is not a top fooball university.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:02, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete, per all above. Definitely WP:TOOSOON here. Fails WP:GNG. Ejgreen77 (talk) 11:40, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
