Ladi Ajiboye

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

First, Ajiboye has not played in a regular season game in professional league and does not pass WP:NGRIDIRON. Second, he has not received national press coverage or won an award that would qualify under WP:NCOLLATH. Third, he has not been the subject of significant coverage in independent reliable sources; the coverage that has been found relates to his suspension from the team for a marijuana infraction which raises BLP1E issues.

Delete - Non-notable college football player. Subject does not satisfy specific notability guidelines for college football players per WP:NCOLLATH (no major awards or records), nor professional players per WP:NGRIDIRON (never played in the NFL or other major pro league). Analysis under the general notability guidelines is a closer call, but my review of 230+ Google results suggests the overwhelming majority of coverage is discounted because it's not independent (teams, leagues, etc.), not reliable/professional (blogs, fan sites, reader-contributed material), trivial or WP:ROUTINE or otherwise heavily discounted (usual post-game coverage, transactions, recruiting, etc.). As noted by Cbl63 above, the only thing resembling "significant coverage" arose from his suspension for getting caught buying marijuana, and we can safely ignore that per the one-event rule of WP:BLP1E.
