Unnotable college player, fails WP:BIO. brewcrewer (yada, yada) 19:29, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Weak Keep Freshman All-American from two of the highest-profile college football web sites outside of ESPN is a fair approximation of notability. From the looks of the box at the bottom of the page, it's apparent that someone plans on writing articles on every member of last year's Fiesta Bowl winning squad. Even as a loyal Mountaineer, that's going to be a tall order getting everyone to pass notability guidelines. DarkAudit (talk) 21:08, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

- He was not a Freshman All-American (if he were, notability would then be questionable). He was only "All" in highschool, and that wasn't All-American either. His college career - so far - isn't remotly notable. The ghits that you get are just every sports websites templated profiles that they have for every single Division I college player.
And yes, the creator does have plans to create an article on each player (I have attempted to talk him out of it, to no avail). So we might want to nip his plans in the bud.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 21:26, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

- Keep He was a freshman All-American that started on the WVU defense that ranked in the Top 10 nationally, and he is going to again be starter on the line. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Red Deadeye (talk • contribs)
- Delete, I PRODed this one for the same reasons. I don't think the sole claim to notability is enough and/or a differentiator between any other college player. I don't think college ball, despite being DivI is the highest level of amateur or enough to pass WP:ATHLETE TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 19:25, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep Freshmen All-American on two decent lists. Because an editor plans to create articles for the entire WVU roster is not a valid reason for deleting. While I agree there are many non-notable college football players, making a freshmen All-American list is nothing to sneeze at. MECU≈talk 12:44, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- Question. Are there are any sources backing the claim that he was a freshman all-american?--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 15:46, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
