Kris Wilkes

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD. While there's no debate whatsoever that this player doesn't meet the sport-specific guidelines, I'm not convinced based on my digging that he meets GNG at present either. That said, I do recognise that a very small percentage of incoming college freshman athletes in any sport are already notable, so I'm happy to have this one discussed here.

Keep I just added three sources from major media sources (ABC News, USA Today, Indianapolis Star) and there were others available from Indiana newspapers as well as the LA Times that were full articles with Wilkes as the subject. This will only increase as we get closer to the college season in November, as he will play for one of the top programs in the country (which gets significant media attention because of it). To be clear, I think he meets WP:GNG right now and that this will only become clear in the next 3-4 months. Rikster2 (talk) 13:18, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
