Non-notable college student, fails WP:GNG, only claim to notability is an article in a college publication. CSD removed twice by WP:SPA (likely sock/meatpuppet) &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;   &#9743;(ring-ring)  01:43, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'm heavily debating closing this early and just processing it as a WP:SNOW scenario. A search brings up nothing to show that this person is notable per Wikipedia guidelines. There's an assertion on the talk page that Brook has won awards from the South Carolina Press Association, however a search for his name doesn't bring up anything, either under Joseph or Joe Brook. Offhand I doubt that these awards would count towards anything on Wikipedia since this primary source states that it was for work he did on a student paper. While there are some student-related matters that can give notability, it's extremely rare and would require some amount of coverage - which isn't out there. The only sources that have covered Brook appear to be entirely primary, which cannot show notability. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  05:53, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Snow Delete-A7- Speedy tag removed not 2, but 3 times by as referred to in the nomination. Should be gone. No indication of notability.  John from Idegon (talk) 06:21, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete, probably by CSD A7: No evidence that this student is notable. AllyD (talk) 07:52, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
