Schuylar Oordt

Unsourced page of an NFL player who never played in an NFL game. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NGRIDIRON. Luchuslu (talk) 14:50, 24 June 2013 (UTC) Withdrawn by nominator - Found new sources with the help of Paul McDonald. Luchuslu (talk) 19:55, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep in just a matter of moments, I found multiple reliable articles outlining the notability of the individual. Clearly passes WP:GNG from press generated by his college football days alone.  It does not appear that the individual has yet played professionally in a regular season or post season game, so WP:NSPORTS is not cleared, but WP:GNG is the show-stopper.  I agree that the sources should be added to the article, but that is an editing issue and not a deletion issue.  I encourage the nominator to take the steps outlined in WP:BEFORE prior to nominating articles in the future.--Paul McDonald (talk) 17:25, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
 * In the search I did just before nominating Oordt, I found no significant coverage that would warrant him passing WP:GNG. The vast majority were primary sources, his facebook and twitter accounts, and a blog post. If you'd like to discuss Wiki policies with me, I'd be more than happy to do so on our talk pages. But having a pissing contest on AfDs is not appropriate. Luchuslu (talk) 17:44, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Try clicking on the "news" link above. It's really helpful--there are no twitter accounts, no facebook pages, and (almost) all bona fide news sources.  As I wrote before, subject clearly passes WP:GNG.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:36, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, I see what you mean. I'll tag the article and withdraw the nomination, maybe try to find some time to work on it. Thanks for your patience.


 * Keep. A college football player who receives significant coverage in mainstream, independent media sources satisfies WP:GNG even if he never plays in the NFL. This one is a closer call than some, because Oordt played at the FCS level. But, as noted by Paul M., above, Oordt appears to have received some significant coverage, i.e., more than passing references in game coverage.  Examples of such coverage include articles from the following sources: Des Moines Register, Burlington Hawke Eye, KWWL, KCRG, The Gazette, Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier, Fox News, WUSA 9, The Northern Iowan, KTVO, Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier, Waterloo Cedar Falls Courier.
