Matt Behrendt

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:NGRIDIRON. The individual does not appear to have played a game in a qualifying league, nor served in a notable coaching position. Coverage of the article subject outside of this context appears to be routine sports coverage of minor or semi-proessional leagues as well as a Division III college team. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 21:22, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Failing NGRIDIRON is irrelevant if he meets GNG—which—it appears he does per the following: UW-Whitewater's Behrendt steals show from NCAA.com; Matt Behrendt, Jake Kumerow forged into Whitewater force from The Roanoke Times; Behrendt, Warhawks air out Stout from the Daily Jefferson County Union; and Matt Behrendt named IFL Offensive Player of the Week from ABC9 Tuscon.

 * To respond source-by-source:
 * The NCAA website cannot possibly be considered to be WP:INDEPENDENT in the context of the coverage of an NCAA athletic contest.
 * The Roanoke Times is providing local coverage within its geographic scope, which isn't strongly indicative of notability.
 * The Jefferson County Daily Union is providing extremely WP:ROUTINE coverage of a sports game.
 * Tuscon's ABC Affiliate's coverage is too brief to be considered WP:SIGCOV.

 * Delete, per Mikehawk10's analysis of sources. I could not find any additional ones after a long search. BeanieFan11 (talk) 13:47, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per the Chicago Tribune source found by Paul McDonald. I was looking for one more source like that to vote keeping this. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:55, 20 October 2021 (UTC) Neutral, after another search I was able to find this, this, and this. I am now neutral on whether or not this should be deleted.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * comment I think this needs to be looked at again. WP:ROUTINE applies to "events" and not "people", and thereis no exclusion of "local' coverage in WP:GNG.  There are a good number of articles found in the "news" category.  Let's not jump to conlcusions just yet.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:46, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Would you prefer I point to WP:MILL instead? — Mikehawk10 (talk) 01:41, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I suppose you could. What specifically in WP:MILL do you think applies?  There's some stuff in there on athletes, but it looks to me to have surpassed the threshhold.  This article in the Chicago Tribune points toward notability and surpassing WP:GNG.  I'll add it to the article if it isn't there already.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:56, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

 * keep the references in Sports Illustrated and Chicago Tribune are evidence of significant coverage, enough to pass WP:GNG. In addtion, college athletes that earn nationally recognized awards such as "All-American" status are also typically kept.--Paul McDonald (talk) 21:09, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per the sources provided by Paulmcdonald. L EPRICAVARK ( talk ) 22:29, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per Paulmcdonald. Looks like there's enough coverage of the subject to pass GNG. Jweiss11 (talk) 01:59, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets WP:GNG, per Paulmcdonald. Ejgreen77 (talk) 06:10, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
