By our standards the football player is not notable. Played D1 but not much. Does not pass our WP:GNG or WP:SNG Lightburst (talk) 00:26, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete I PROD tagged this originally under the same logic. Never opposed to more debate, he only played 13 college games at a Div 1AA school, unlikely to ever meet WP:GNG. Grey Wanderer (talk) 00:32, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. Does not pass WP:NGRIDIRON (no pro games), WP:NCOLLATH (no major awards, records, etc.), or WP:GNG (not finding requisite significant coverage). He did get some coverage in The Springfield News-Leader (e.g., this and this), but not sufficient IMO to pass the GNG bar. I am also skeptical about potential WP:COI as the article was created by a WP:SPA (User:Yahoo123456789) that only ever edited on July 3, 2009, and with 8 of 9 total edits being on the pages for Starnes and his high school.

 * Delete Coverage is not quite substantial enough to indicate a GNG pass, and fails NGRIDIRON and NCOLLATH. Not-notable. Hog Farm Bacon 22:50, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:NGRIDIRON, WP:NCOLLATH, and WP:GNG, per all above. Ejgreen77 (talk) 10:35, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete generally Division I-AA/FCS players do not generate enough press for inclusion in this encyclopedia. There are exceptions, but this does not appear to be one. I'm not seeing any coverage to hit WP:GNG nor any other notability guideline or measure.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:27, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
