 * Comment - I haven't had a chance to do a comprehensive search to do a notability analysis yet, but this entire article is one big copyright violation per WP:COPYVIO. Looks like a straight cut-and-paste job from the Boston College sports website.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 01:29, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - WP:COPYVIO permits the use of materials if permission from the author exists, please feel free to contact the copyright holder whom has permitted the use of this data to generate the framework of a wikipedia article for Nick Rossi. TheCustos (talk) 17:32, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * LOL @ TheCustos. Yeah, I'll get right on that.  We delete COPYVIO material from hundreds, if not thousands of Wikipedia articles every day, including both text and images.  FYI, permission to use copyright materials must come from the rights holder before, not after publication, and even then Wikipedia policy has a strong preference for using "free content" material in its articles, not copyright material.

 * Speedy delete - Copyright violation and fails WP:GNG and WP:NCOLLATH. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 23:00, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable college football player. Apart from the obvious WP:COPYVIO mentioned above, the subject does not satisfy the specific notability guidelines for either college athletes per WP:NCOLLATH (no major awards or records) or football players (never played in a regular season game in the NFL, CFL, etc.).  Subject received a fair amount of WP:ROUTINE post-game coverage in college, bit lacks significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources to satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG.
