The result was speedy keep. Withdrawn by nominator; sources given indicate the subject definitely meets WP:GNG even if they fail WP:NSPORT. (non-admin closure) Nathan2055talk - contribs 02:17, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Doesn't seem to pass WP:NSPORT. Only one reliable source in the article, and not very many seem to be showing up elsewhere from my searching. Nathan2055talk - contribs 07:22, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Strong keep. Sievers was the leading scorer with 119 points for the national championship 2001 Miami Hurricanes football team. See here. He also led the country that year with 1.91 field goals per game and set the school's all-time season record with 21 field goals. Passes both WP:NCOLLATH (first-team All-American as selected by CNNSI.com in 2001) and WP:GNG (received abundant significant coverage in multiple, reliable, and independent sources). Examples of coverage include: (1) Todd Sievers: Kicker, game-saver, The Palm Beach Post, 11/15/01; (2) From Ankeny to Pasadena: Sievers takes long route to title game, The Des Moines Register, 12/21/01; (3) Hurricanes kicker's home lies within enemy territory, 12/20/01; (4) An Upright Guy: UM's Todd Siervers is calm, humble, fearless -- and diabetic, South Florida Sun Sentinel, 12/28/01; (5) All Systems Toe, The Des Moines Register, 8/24/03; (6) UM's Sievers kicks off war of words, Orlando Sentinel, 9/2/02.

 * Definite keep--to add to Cbl's sources, Sievers also kicked one of the longest field goals in high school football history. Passes NCOLLATH and GNG with both substantial coverage and multiple notable records, selections, etc. Nole  (chat·edits) 09:34, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets WP:GNG and WP:BASIC, per Cbl62's sources and arguments. Ejgreen77 (talk) 10:38, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
