Ryan Podesta

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Doesn't meet WP:ATHLETE, and he doesn't meet WP:GNG. The sources he appears in are exactly that - sources he appears in. The "Nevada Union senior" isn't Podesta - it's his teammate; Podesta gets a mention once as team captain, and that's all he gets. The Pro Paintball is a throwaway article to get a team membership for Podesta. I can't get the video from where it's listed, but it's all of 5m47s outdoors on Youtube, so there's no way it's as in-depth as needed. He gets a mention in the Levitz article because it's one of the things the developer did - Podesta isn't the focus, and I can't get the Press-Democrat article, but I assume from the title it's the same thing. So he's got spot coverage in larger articles, and that's it. He hasn't seemed to have done much in pro paintball - you'd think if he was notable he'd get a cover at Splat Mag, but that apparently hasn't happened. He also got a blip on a gun debate because he owns a paintball store. There's no verifiable citation of his designs. In short, minimal coverage isn't met. Basically, a random niche-business individual. MSJapan (talk) 07:37, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
