So here's an interesting case. Jevan Snead doesn't actually meet WP:ATHLETE. He never won a major college award, wasn't drafted, etc. It appears his article hasn't been seriously considered for deletion due to the fact that many experts predicted he would be the #1 player taken in the 2010 NFL Draft. Instead...he wasn't drafted at all...which is why we have WP:CRYSTAL. Do we ignore WP:ATHLETE altogether? Obviously, as I'm proposing it for deletion, you know which side of the fence I'm on. Smashvilletalk 19:50, 25 April 2010 (UTC) Addendum: Also does not meet WP:College Football's own notability standards, as he has not played in a professional league, has not coached, is not in the Hall of Fame, did not win a national award, did not have any noteworthy achievement and has not become notable outside of being a football player. WP:GNG is a guideline that is usually ignored in the case of athletes, as some professional athletes may not meet WP:GNG, but meet WP:ATHLETE standards and vice versa. --Smashvilletalk 00:21, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep- GNG is met by sources in the article (although i did some of them are dead links which need to either be repaired or removed). Whether or not he meets WP:ATHLETE becomes irrelevant, in this case. Umbralcorax (talk) 20:23, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Fails WP:ATH. WP:GNG only gives rise to a presumption of notability. In my view, if you fail the lowest notability standard on wikipedia (WP:ATH), that presumption is, apart from in exceptional cases, rebutted. --Mkativerata (talk) 23:13, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - 90% of all football players on this website are not "notable outside of being a football player."  Eagles   24/7  (C)  00:25, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Failing WP:ATHLETE is not alone grounds for deletion, as outlined in WP:ABELINCOLN. Clearly passes general notability guideline.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:35, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, meets wp:GNG, read Fuhghettaboutit's comments here: Articles for deletion/Dez Bryant --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 02:44, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, meets GNG. Plus he was just signed to a contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, right after the draft concluded.  A similar player would be former Arizona State quarterback Rudy Carpenter, who was not drafted, and started last season as an NFL practice squad player.  His wikipedia page hung around.--Cdman882 (talk) 13:50, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Signed NFL player.     allstar✰echo    22:51, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
