I last nominated this article for deletion in 2011, resulting in no consensus. Revisiting this article now, I still believe this article fails to meet WP:NCOLLATH. Reed doesn't meet the four core criteria of NCOLLATH, and the provided articles about Reed in the "further reading" section are little more than WP:ROUTINE coverage from local newspapers.

 * Keep. WP:NCOLLATH is an inclusive standard, not an exclusive one. Starting quarterbacks at Division I FBS programs commonly have articles if they pass WP:GNG. At the prior AfD, some 20 articles were presented where Reed was the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable media outlets. These are articles written about Reed that far surpass passing mentions in game coverage or mere "Transactions" announcements of the sort considered to be WP:ROUTINE.

 * So the general notability guideline overrides the sports notability guideline, due to the extensive coverage about Reed from local news sources? I can accept that argument, if there's a consensus in this discussion. The quarterback is usually the "face of the program" for D1 FBS teams, so he usually becomes the subject of most news coverage unless a position player is particularly exceptional.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete local coverage should be underweighed. There is not enough coverage to justify an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:01, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
 * delete The coverage looks like routine sports reporting to me. I see nothing that every Division 1 QB wouldn't have and don't believe WP:NFOOTBALL makes all such players notable. Don't see any other notability standard is met.Sandals1 (talk) 15:11, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete The coverage is local and consists of routine sports reporting. There's no indication that WP:GNG or WP:NGRIDIRON is met. Papaursa (talk) 22:43, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
