 * Keep a quick search of Google News reveals a good number of articles specific to this individual. Passes based on WP:GNG easily.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:00, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Query. I did a Google News archive search as well and found mostly stuff with passing references to Allen.  Paul -- If there are particular articles that you think reflect substantive coverage, it would be helpful if you could link a couple.  Thanks. Cbl62 (talk) 19:34, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Paul, I'm finding far less material for this subject than the former Stanford player we just agreed to delete. What substantive content are you finding in multiple, independent, reliable sources which I'm not?  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 14:25, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm having a few minutes to patrol discussions but not to really dig in. The KC Star articles in the link above look good to me but I'll grant that others may consider them "local" even though the star is a national paper.  The Wichita Eagle articles also come to mind.  Sadly, they're pay-per-view.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:33, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - He never played a professional game in any league that matters, and his college career was unremarkable. This isn't even close. --Bongwarrior (talk) 20:10, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Just not seeing enuf coverage that is focused on Rodney. Willing to reconsider if a couple specifics can be highlighted. Cbl62 (talk)<
 * Delete per Cbl62. cmadler (talk) 14:45, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - I did a search of him on HighBeam Research and came up with this, this, and this, all of which are articles from the Journal-World regarding Allen when he was in college. They seem to collectively demonstrate notability, albeit not terribly strongly, per WP:GNG. Go   Phightins  !  04:13, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Two passing mentions, one of which is a one sentence mention that is career was "ended" by a neck injury, the other source mentions him as a backup, again with a two sentence passing mention, the third source is borderline typical coverage. Not strong enough sources for WP:GNG, nor I don't see much happening anytime soon, especially with the two damming sources in the end. Delete Secret account 06:10, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
