Dylan McCaffrey

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable football player. Being a back-up quarterback at Michigan and having notable relatives do not meet any notability standards. He may become notable playing at a high profile school like Michigan but that requires a crystal ball. Right now he hasn't done anything to show he's notable or have any coverage that is unusual for a highly recruited high schooler. Sandals1 (talk) 15:41, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment. McCaffrey has been on the radar for quite a while, and were it my decision as to when to start the article, I'd have waited until the fall when he in all likelihood will be Michigan's starting QB. An analogy can be drawn, however, to the recent Articles for deletion/Chris Chugunov situation where an article on Ohio State's backup QB was kept. At worst, the article should be draftified (sp?). I want to examine the coverage further before casting a final vote. Cbl62 (talk) 17:46, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Please see User talk:Sandals1 for known WP:Sock PenulisHantu (talk) 18:21, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Your !vote will be discounted by any closing reviewer as it doesn't cite any applicable policy for keeping the article. It appears you're just trying to sling mud at the nominator by making unfounded accusations.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 18:26, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
 * , since the talk page only shows a block reverted with apology, and an accusation by an editor who was themselves blocked as a sock, what is your point? If you want to defend the article, speak to policy and sources. Schazjmd   (talk)  18:28, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Pointing out a fact from User talk:Sandals1. I'm not married to the page and fine with whatever happens to it. PenulisHantu (talk) 18:34, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
 * What "fact" are you alluding to? That the editor was incorrectly blocked once for sockpuppetry, or that an editor that accused them was themselves blocked as a sock? That you feel it's necessary to point either of these irrelevant events out in reponse to an AfD nomination is concerning. -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 18:37, 11 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Draft. The existing coverage is routine. McCaffrey has played in ten games over two seasons and hasn't accomplished anything especially noteworthy in that span. If he becomes the starting QB in 2020 that may be a different matter. Mackensen (talk) 12:20, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Draftify I'm drawing the comparison with Spencer Rattler, who was the backup at Oklahoma last year. College backup QBs are rarely notable, though McCaffrey has gotten some coverage. Either weak keep or move to draft would be fine. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 14:58, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Draftify I'd say McCaffery is just a bit under the waterline of notability but he will likely receive enough coverage to pass GNG in the late summer/early fall assuming he is Michigan's starting QB. Best, GPL93 (talk) 15:38, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete a backup college football QB is not yet notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:50, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Draftify. Will likely be notable in the future, but right now, it's simply WP:TOOSOON. Ejgreen77 (talk) 15:30, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Draftify it's borderline, but there's no point in deleting now only to recreate in a few months. Lepricavark (talk) 16:02, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Draftify for now (WP:TOOSOON, WP:CRYSTAL), move to mainspace later if that becomes appropriate. PCN02WPS  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 16:12, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
