One news article as a primary source. Nothing else about this particular person could be found. Does not meet WP:N. JudeccaXIII (talk) 20:30, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTY, not notable. Only articles I could find were newspaper articles written by him, not about him, and even as a newspaper columnist, still not notable enough. - SanAnMan (talk) 21:15, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - The only reference within the article itself is, in fact, an article about him, and not by him. Please see: "Navy's Barnes is a student-athlete role model March 29, 2008 by Maria Burns Ortiz ESPN" Fieari (talk) 01:55, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete This article is just way too short for me to even consider keeping it. 2602:306:3357:BA0:81FC:22A7:8971:ACBD (talk) 21:37, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - Current article length is not, has never been, and never will be a deletion criteria. Fieari (talk) 01:55, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails GNG; not notable for stand alone article. The first reference cited is a passing feel good piece and the second is barely anything. Remember Wikipedia is not a newspaper and I don't see any lasting noteworthiness. Kierzek (talk) 21:59, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - There is the ESPN reference (in the article, and linked in my above reply), but I found one more: . Given that these two articles are reliable sources, are not merely local-only small newspapers, are independent from the subject, and the articles are ABOUT the subject, not merely mentions,  I have to !vote keep, and dispute the !votes for delete listed above.

 * Delete He gets short mention in what amounts to a human interest story, but getting written up in a short human interest story is not enough to make someone notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:13, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
