Randy Hand

Article subject fails to satisfy either the general notability guidelines or those for an athlete. Subject was not an exceptional college athlete, did not receive college All-American or all-conference honors or any major award, and never played a down in an NFL game. Please delete.

 * Delete The subject does not appear to meet inclusion guidelines at Notability (sports). Gnome de plume (talk) 13:22, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Notability unasserted fully, but not totally unnotable. Wikipedian2 (talk) 16:07, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete College football players who have received significant non-trivial coverage in the mainstream media are eligible for inclusion under WP:GNG. The overwhelming majority of college football players do not meet that standard. The coverage I can find about Hand does not rise to the level of significant non-trivial coverage specifically about Hand; almost all of it consists of passing references in game coverage. If others demonstrate that he has received more significant coverage, I'd reconsider. Cbl62 (talk) 02:34, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete collegiate offensive linemen rarely get coverage to warrant an article. They do  get a lot of bruises... but bruises do not equate to notability.  I'd change my position if sources appear... or if he successfully turns pro... or something...--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:37, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
