WP:TOOSOON. Doesn't qualify for notability under WP:NHSPHSATH as, with the exception of the two espn articles, all the non-routine coverage is local or school-specific publications. This doesn't count as "substantial and prolonged coverage." Hasn't played a single college game, so can't qualify under WP:NCOLLATH. Ahecht ( TALK PAGE ) 17:14, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. Multiple in-depth coverage in reliable sources such as ESPN, with articles devoted to him; he meets the general notability guideline.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:29, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that two articles by the same author qualify as substantial and prolonged coverage. --Ahecht ( [[User_talk:Ahecht|'''TALK

 * Delete - I don't see significant coverage. A couple articles when he de-committed from Baylor and a couple when he signed with Illinois - all very short.  Rikster2 (talk) 18:46, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep per the nontrivial coverage in this articleWebCite (September 17, 2012) and this articleWebCite (January 3, 2013) in ESPN, as well as this article from CBSSports.comWebCite (September 1, 2013), this articleWebCite from The News-Gazette (September 1, 2013), and this articleInternet Archive from WHBQ-TV (March 21, 2014). The sources span roughly two years, from September 2012 to March 2014, which addresses the concern about the WP:PERSISTENCE of the coverage. The News-Gazette article provides 488 words of coverage about the subject, which addresses the significant coverage concern. The article should be kept because Leron Black passes Notability.
