 * Not badgering, but that has nothing to do with him not being notable. The question is if he passes GNG. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 03:13, 7 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete as WP:GNG means nothing if he's not notable as a football player, which is the main focus here, and because he's only played with 1 team and that's only as a non-game player, he's not notable. SwisterTwister   talk  04:22, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Not passing WP:NGRIDIRON does not make someone not notable. GNG now applies WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 17:51, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Agree with WikiOriginal-9, GNG reigns supreme and means everything. As seen from my comment below, I do think he passes the notability hurdle in the football realm, but maybe not necessarily for his play alone. RonSigPi (talk) 03:39, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep easily able to find a good amount of regional and national coverage of the subject, more than enough to pass the general notability guideline. NGRIDIRON is a guideline that is inclusive, not exclusive.  this means that just because a subject does not pass the muster of one notability guideline (in this case, GRIDIRON), that does not mean that they cannot meet notability through another means (such as GNG).--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:07, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep appears to pass GNG. Worth note that I am swayed by the coverage that has to to with him transferring to the school where his father, NFL player Monte Coleman, coaches.  That special circumstance gives more non-routine coverage than might be normal for a practice squad guy that didn't play at a power five conference school.  I think a lot of the Seattle-based coverage is routine. RonSigPi (talk) 03:34, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Wanted to clarify why I went Weak Keep instead of Keep. The coverage of him going to his father's school was only in two sources.  My standard is three distinct sources and have seen that elsewhere (see Articles for deletion/2017 BWF World Championships).  By strict interpretation of the rules of GNG, the term 'sources' requires only two.  However, I would prefer to see three (or four would be even better).  Additional sources would need to be detailed and not just a repeat of the other sources.  Willing to strengthen my viewpoint, but would want to see from more sources.

 * Keep per WikiOriginal-9's sources as a WP:GNG pass. Ejgreen77 (talk) 03:08, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
