Recently created biography of a college football player drafted for the NFL. Although I'm sure he'll be accepted, I think that we should just wait and see. There are sources, but only in newspaper and the college website, not to mention the NFL drafts (guess that's obvious). Getting out of here (talk) 20:47, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Top QB prospect for NFL Draft, top QB recruit coming out of high school, set school records. He's notable.--Yankees10 20:57, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Appears to meet notability under WP:NCOLLATH based on his inclusion in the NFL scouting combine as well as coverage of his play at UTC. At any rate, it seems likely that by the end of this year he'll qualify under WP:NGRIDIRON, so what's the point of deleting the article now? If he never makes an NFL team you can request deletion this fall and I may support it. — DeeJayK (talk) 22:03, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I guess I was thinking he would qualify under WP:NCOLLATH's criteria "3. Gained national media attention as an individual, not just as a player for a notable team." That said, I'm no expert on notability standards. Mostly I just feel that it's pointless to delete an article on a player who will very likely be part of an NFL team next season and thus will qualify under WP:NGRIDIRON. I realize we should avoid applying notability guidelines based on speculation, but I also don't see what harm it does to allow this article to continue to exist on WP for at least a few more months until we see what happens. — DeeJayK (talk) 19:18, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
