Former high school standout who fell into obscurity in college. Once notable, now no longer is. bender235 (talk) 09:15, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notability cannot be lost once it is gained per WP:NTEMP. I'm still finding articles on the web that are far and above any "routine" coverage, such as Dodge's ankle injury improving and UNT QB Dodge moving to receiver.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:30, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The 2009 ankle injury is from "ESPNDallas.com" and is what you would expect for local coverage of a starting college athlete. Important local athletes in high schools also get such mentions. SalHamton (talk) 18:33, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails ATHLETE#College_athletes. The article is about the college football career of player that earned no awards, records or hall of fame honors. The first reference (RiseMag) doesn't exist and redirects to another website. The 2007 Sports Illustrated article is rather detailed in its high school section about his future college prospects. The Dallas Morning News (the link is dead) is equally about his famous father (Todd Dodge). The last reference is from 2011 and is about "play[ing] his last down at North Texas" after his father was fired. Any relevant material about the son playing for his father belongs in the father's article and this can be deleted. SalHamton (talk) 18:29, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
