Comment--haven't formed position yet as I skim through some hits during my customary google search. Seemed to garner modest coverage during his playing days as noted [here ], [here ], and [here ]. I'm not convinced it meets WP:GNG. I'll continue to look to see if it meets any WP:SPORTS stipulations. Go Phightins! (talk) 01:48, 30 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete, after re-reading through WP:NSPORTS, I see nothing in either the American football section or the college amateur athlete section that moves him past WP:ROUTINE, if he were a quarterback or other significant offensive playmaker, perhaps he'd have established more local coverage, but as a lineman, I see nothing. So unfortunately I would say delete. Go Phightins! (talk) 01:54, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Does not meet WP:NGRIDIRON, and coverage has been routine, as noted above. Fails WP:GNG as well on that basis.--Batard0 (talk) 09:10, 1 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete few college offensive linemen meet the notability standards for inclusion in Wikipeida. I don't see this subject as an exception.  If he makes a pro team and plays, that's a different story.--Paul McDonald (talk) 22:41, 3 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. Non-notable former college football lineman who was not selected in the NFL Draft and was released during the NFL preseason after signing as an undrafted free agent.  Is not entitled to a presumption of notability per WP:NCOLLATH or WP:NGRIDIRON, and must satisfy the more difficult requirements of WP:GNG.  A Google News Archive restricted search for "Josh Oglesby" reveals a total of only 27 articles].  Weirdly, over half of the 27 hits are for an Iowa Hawkeyes basketball player and a Virginia Tech running back of the same name.  The remaining coverage for the subject Oglesby varies from truly trivial to routine post-game mentions and transactional coverage.  The most substantive coverage of the subject is by his college athletic department, which is not independent of the subject per the requirements for establishing notability under WP:GNG.  Google search for "Josh Oglesby" reveals numerous hits but current news and website coverage is of a routine transactional nature covering his signing as an undrafted free agent and subsequent release.
