 * Delete does not seem to have the coverage that WP:GNG requires, and I cannot find any other avenue to notability.--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:09, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Subject does not satisfy the SNG guidelines of either WP:NCOLLATH or WP:NGRIDIRON, and is therefore not entitled to a presumption of notability and must satisfy the general notability guidelines for inclusion per WP:GNG.  My Google search turns up dozens, if not hundreds of hits, but that doesn't settle the issue, either.  None of the 80+ hits that I reviewed provided substantial, non-trivial, non-routine coverage in independent reliable sources per WP:GNG and WP:RS.  (please note that fan blogs don't count as independent, reliable sources for purposes of establishing notability.)  Based on my search, if this subject is notable, then virtually every letterman on a BCS college football team would likewise be notable.  That's a bridge too far.  If someone else turns up multiple examples of non-trivial, non-routine coverage of the subject in indepedent reliable sources, I would reconsider my !vote.
