Former high school standout that fell in obscurity in college. Once notable, but now no longer is. bender235 (talk) 09:13, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Nominator agrees the subject was "once notable" but notability cannot be lost per WP:NTEMP. No other reason is given for deletion since the last AFD.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:31, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I was the creator of that article, and I made a mistake. Tre Newton did not lose notability, he never had it in the first place. Why keep the biography of a third-string college running back? Please test this article with WP:ATHLETE to see that he does not meet the criteria. --bender235 (talk) 23:02, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
 * He might fail WP:ATHLETE but clearly passes WP:GNG with the huge coverage easily found simply by clicking the news link above. Here is [one of many] such articles.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:44, 11 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * By the way, according to the article history the creator of the article was User:Jumpman Jordan and not User:Bender235.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:51, 14 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. Needing an expansion isn't the same as needing notability. Passes WP:GNG handily. Dea db eef  (talk)  06:49, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Athlete appears to meet WP:SIGCOV. While the article doesn't meet WP:NGRIDIRON (which is technically for professional football athletes not at the collegiate level) and possibly the coverage is run-of-the-mill for any NCAA Division I top pick, it's available sources in conducting WP:BEFORE are undeniable.
