Doesn't meet notability standard for college athletes. Subject has not won awards, set records, nor has he received significant enough national news coverage as an individual. Rikster2 (talk) 19:03, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Being a sub or average player on a great team doesn't make you inherently notable. However, being a great player on a great team does, but since this is not the case, it fails sports notability. Jrcla2 (talk) 22:07, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the post! While being a "great player on a great team" might seem like the perfect criteria for college athlete notability, wikipedia has already established policy here: WP:ATHLETE#College athletes. I encourage you to check it out. Have a great week! -Blueman33 (talk) 06:52, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Watch your tone. This is the only time I'll mention that. Jrcla2 (talk) 21:43, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Excuse me? -Blueman33 (talk) 07:03, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Easy Keep. WP:ATHLETE#College athletes is very clear as to what makes college athletes notable: "College athletes and coaches are notable if they have been the subject of non-trivial media coverage beyond merely a repeating of their statistics." It then gives three examples that would fall under this criteria (not exhaustive). This individual has received significant media coverage beyond merely repeating his statistics, therefore he is notable. The current article is petty new, and not very well developed yet. I'll try and post some new refs and info sometime over the next few days. -Blueman33 (talk) 06:52, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- As promised, here are a few refs demonstrating the significant coverage I mentioned: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, and eleven. Additionally, there are a lot more out there. -Blueman33 (talk) 08:28, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless references are added - If there is so much coverage, it should be easy to add references, no? --Selket ^Talk 18:47, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Selket, just posted a few refs above. I hope they help. -Blueman33 (talk) 08:30, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
