 * Delete. Despite assertion that he is a QB for the Patriots, he has not appeared in an NFL game and is not listed on the Patriots' roster (see here) and therefore does not pass WP:NGRIDIRON. His collegiate biography (here) does not reference any major awards or records, and I find no coverage in the national news media, so that he does not pass WP:NCOLLATH either. Finally, my searches did not turn up significant coverage in multiple, reliable, and independent sources of the type required under WP:GNG, though I'm willing to reconsider if others can bring forward such coverage. Finally, coverage such as this and this about his high school career are discounted pursuant to WP:NHSPHSATH. Cbl62 (talk) 06:42, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete based on the sources provided the subject has not achieved notability. It's possible that WP:GNG could have been achieved through his college career or other means, but my review of online sources only shows passing mentions.  If it were presented, I would reconsider.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:10, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - Non-notable college football player and wannabe pro. The subject does not satisfy the specific notability guidelines for college athletes per WP:NCOLLATH (no major awards) or pro football players per WP:NGRIDIRON (never played in a regular season NFL game).  Based on my review of 200+ Google hits, the subject does not satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG for lack of significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources.  I did find a single article from The Boston Globe in which Asprilla was the principal subject, but that by itself is insufficient to get him over the GNG hump.

 * Good catch on The Boston Globe article. A couple more like that from other media outlets, and I'd reconsider my vote, but for now, I agree with Dirtlawyer that the solo article from the Globe doesn't get him over the GNG hump. Cbl62 (talk) 19:48, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
