This player is not notable via WPNGRIDORON nor WP:GNG, although he may be in the near future. Jacona (talk) 18:44, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - It is too soon for this article. Recreate later after he actually starts playing.  Arfæst Ealdwrítere   (talk)  19:02, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly passes GNG: --Yankees10 19:49, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete All these sources are "hey he got drafted" and WP:NGRIDIRON clearly shows that being drafted or signed is not sufficient to meet the standard of notability. That is precisely why WP:NGRIDIRON and WP:TOOSOON exist.Jacona (talk) 21:21, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * GNG outweighs both of those policies.--Yankees10 22:02, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * NGRIDIRON and TOOSOON exist for a reason. They expressly state that an athlete is notable when he plays in a game in a top-level league. Anything that is a prerequisite for that, such as being drafted or being signed is therefore obviously not intended to be credited as significant coverage for GNG.  GNG still applies, but being drafted cannot be considered significant coverage for GNG.  If the above interpretation of GNG were to be accepted, we might as well delete NGRIDIRON, TOOSOON, NSCH, indeed, every other policy that exists.Jacona (talk) 00:41, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Take a look at those links. That is significant coverage. Failing NGRIDIRON means nothing if the player passes GNG. You seem to be grasping at straws here.--Yankees10 01:03, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
 * The only player you nominated that seems to fail NGRIDIRON and TOOSOON is Kevin Pamphile since it doesn't look like he passes GNG.--Yankees10 01:05, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I see that you at least agree that Kevin Pamphile fails gng, so be an upright honest guy and vote for deletion there.

 * Keep per . Clearly passes GNG.  --Arxiloxos (talk) 05:14, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep All of the nominations by this particular nominator appear to be based on a misunderstanding of how WP:GNG and WP:NGRIDIRON work together. WP:GNG trumps all other WikiProject-specific notability guidelines. Ejgreen77 (talk) 21:24, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Has some non-routine, independent coverage and was honorable mention for All-CUSA. Clearly some individual coverage beyond being a member of a notable team per WP:NCOLLATH. EricEnfermero  HOWDY! 04:05, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Being all-conference doesn't meet NCOLLATH or NGRIDIRON. The rest of the coverage is routine sports reporting about his being drafted.  Every player drafted is not automatically notable and they all receive this kind of coverage (see WP:ONEEVENT. 204.126.132.231 (talk) 16:33, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
