 * Delete fails WP:GNG at this time. No prejudice to recreate in the future should he pass notability guidelines.--Paul McDonald (talk) 10:39, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - if no sources are added by the end of the week, it can be treated as a WP:BLPPROD. If some are added, ping me. Ansh666 18:22, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - Not-yet notable American college football player. Fails the specific notability guideline for college athletes per WP:NCOLLATH (no major awards or records), and the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG (insufficient significant coverage in multiple, indepedent, reliable sources).  After reviewing 20-odd pages of Google search results, what I found was recruiting websites, fansites, blogs, WP:ROUTINE post-game coverage, and most recently, ROUTINE mentions of his high ankle sprain.  Bottom line: this article was created TOO SOON.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:54, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
 * And, yes, Ansh666 is right: biographies of living persons with no in-line sources are subject to deletion per WP:BLP. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:57, 17 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete I am not finding sufficient coverage in independent, reliable sources to satisfy GNG. What coverage I find (e.g., here and here and here) relates principally to a routine injury announcement.  Based on his touted talent level, he may well garner the news coverage to become notable this year or next, but doesn't appear to be there quite yet. Cbl62 (talk) 19:01, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
