 * Keep Generally starting quarterbacks pass WP:GNG and there seems to be some good sources already in the article.--Paul McDonald (talk) 17:32, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable. Fails WP:NCOLLATH. Sources are game recaps (WP:ROUTINE), bio on MSU website, and a blog. — X96lee15 (talk) 20:31, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. While there is no rule rendering major program starting QBs notable, Paul is correct that they do tend to receive ample coverage sufficient to pass WP:GNG.  Lee was a starting QB in the SEC (best conference in college football), and, not surprisingly, his case falls within the norm.  Examples of significant coverage include: (1) this from The Commercial Dispatch, (2) this from The Packet, (3) this from Mississippi Sports Magazine, and (4) this from the Northeast Mississipi Daily Journal., and (5) this from Juco Weekly. Cbl62 (talk) 22:16, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - The first four articles linked by Cbl62 above constitute enough significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources to satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG. The fifth article in Juco Weekly is primarily about the subject's younger brother, and only mentions the subject incidentally.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 04:42, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep as a WP:GNG pass, per Cbl62. Ejgreen77 (talk) 05:53, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
