Scottie Phillips

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The subject has had a strong college career, but I don't think that he quite meets WP:GNG or WP:NCOLLATH, with an honorable mention at the NCJAA All-America and a SEC Offensive Player of the Week as his highest awards. If he goes on to have a professional career, this may just be WP:TOOSOON. signed,Rosguill talk 05:10, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

While Phillips may not technically meet some notability guidelines, he does meet what is generally considered acceptable by the Wikipedia community, being a starter on a power 5 division 1 team, who is nationally recognized and is expected to be drafted in the NFL in April. Furthermore, Phillips has received much local and state press, in addition to some national press, much of which is secondary or tertiary press coming from credible publications, meaning he should qualify for general notability standards. In addition to this, Phillips has been widely projected by multiple media sources to be drafted into the NFL, where it is common Wikipedia standard for all drafted players to have a page, meaning this page would simply need to be re-created in about a month.

 * The standard written in WP:NGRIDIRON is having actually played in a professional game, not merely being drafted. If the community's consensus on this matter has shifted, we should correct the guideline. As for the coverage, the article as written does not include this wealth of sources. I tried searching online, but I came up with just a bunch of trivial coverage. Given the nature of sports press, it's possible I missed something. If you can provide GNG-meeting coverage I'll happily withdraw this AfD. signed,Rosguill talk 05:22, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep per as he is still acceptable and sources could be found to support his notability. Expansion of article may be needed but deletion is unnecessary.--WikiAviator (talk) 05:52, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
