Fails WP:GNG (can only find coverage from Tallahassee Democrat, including this and this) and WP:NGRIDIRON, having never played professionally. Unfortunately, being a college football long snapper is typically not notable.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  16:56, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Florida State Seminoles football as if someone was searching up him the best option is that they get redirected to that section; nothing is to be gained by deleting it. I can't find anything better than that local coverage referenced by the nominator and all the sources in the article would seem to either be unreliable or not independent.

 * Redirect to Florida State Seminoles football not enough N for students and alone and enough not to delete. Wm335td (talk) 19:52, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:NGRIDIRON (no pro games) and WP:NCOLLATH (no major collegiate accomplishments by this long snapper and no national media coverage). Also, my searches did not turn up significant coverage beyond the two articles noted above by Eagles 247, and those articles come from a single source and are insufficient to push Gabbard over the WP:GNG bar.

 * Also, I do not support the redirect option in this case. Absent some special circumstance, our practice and precedent is to delete (rather than redirect) articles on non-notable college players. No special circumstances that I see here. Cbl62 (talk) 01:21, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah I'm far more inclusionist than most for redirects. I'm perfectly fine with deletion here.  J 947 &thinsp;(c) , at  01:57, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
