Ryan Travis

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:ATH, WP:GNG, and WP:NSPORT. Non-notable, never played professionally, and has been released by the Seahawks.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  21:09, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Copyvio is not a reason to delete if the text can be rewritten and there are other sources that establish notability.—Bagumba (talk) 23:50, 30 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete as copyvio.-- Giants27 ( T  |  C )  21:22, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Per sources provided by Bagumba.-- Giants27 ( T  |  C )  15:37, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. There was some non-copyvio content in the article, so I removed the copyright violating content. The article no longer qualifies for G12 speedy deletion, but the subject still fails the criteria cited in the nomination. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 21:36, 29 August 2011 (UTC) struck !vote; see new one below. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 14:24, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. -- Joaquin008  ( talk ) 10:20, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to meet WP:GNG with examples of significant coverage at 1) RINE: Former WLU Star Anything But Sleepless in Seattle Wheeling News-Register, 2) Following Travis' shot at the NFL Daily Record, 3) Tuslaw to retire Ryan Travis' number? The Independent, 4) WLU’s Travis, Amedro All-Americans Wheeling News-Register, 5) Tuslaw grad Ryan Travis leads NCAA in pass receptions Canton Repositiory. He is not a WP:Run-of-the-mill player as a 2-time first-team NCAA Division II All-America (2009–10), his 15 TD catches tied the NCAA Division II single-season record for tight ends, and his 126 catches and 12.6 average per game each rank No. 2 all-time on the NCAA Division II single-season receiving list. For those not convinced by the coverage listed, WP:BIO allows "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability." Combine with other smaller sources if needed. —Bagumba (talk) 23:50, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - withdrew previous delete !vote, changed to keep per sources provided by Bagumba. Sources show that he is notable as a collegiate athlete (even in Division II, a two-time consensus first-team All-American and an all-time major record holder is notable), regardless of his lack of an NFL career. cmadler (talk) 02:53, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per Bagumba. There is substantial, non-trivial coverage about him in multiple mainstream media outlets.  College football players who have received such coverage pass WP:GNG even if they never play a game in the NFL.  Cbl62 (talk) 03:07, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per sources found by Bagumba. I retracted my delete !vote above. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 14:24, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
