Michael Terrizzi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Former collegiate and NFL quarterback, but fails WP:NGRIDIRON notability guideline as he was cut from the San Francisco 49ers and didn't play in any games as a professional. The remaining claims are around a law degree and practice, but lack WP:RS citations to establish notability. Article has been tagged for 9 years and seems to have been created by a SPA.

 * Keep. The article as it existed pre-AfD was in poor shape with some material that can likely be viewed as promotional. I have edited the article to render it more neutral and have also added some sourcing. That said, WP:NGRIDIRON is an inclusionary standard rather than an exlusionary one.  Football players can still qualify under WP:GNG. Here, Terrizzi was a starting quarterback for a Power Five program and received GNG-level coverage. Examples include: this, this, this, and this.

 * Keep Meets GNG per the sources from Cbl62. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 18:08, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per Cbl62. Jweiss11 (talk) 18:41, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep As expanded, the article provides the reliable and verifiable sources needed to meet the notability standard. Alansohn (talk) 01:20, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets WP:GNG and WP:BASIC, per Cbl62's sources. The article should probably be retitled to Mike Terrizzi per WP:COMMONNAME, as that appears to be the name he was known as during his football career. Ejgreen77 (talk) 06:40, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep per Cbl62. KingSkyLord (talk &#124; contribs) 14:34, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - I've looked over Cbl's four sources, and they all look like independent significant coverage. Most Power 5 conference full-time starting quarterbacks get GNG coverage, and this guy isn't an exception. Hog Farm Bacon 18:56, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep generally big-ten starting quarterbacks generate enough press to surpass WP:GNG. Board membership in several football organizations also speak to WP:IMPACT.  Mix that all together and it seems to me that several notability measures are met.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:12, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
