A good high school football player, just starting his second year of college ball (first as starter), but nothing notable. Fails WP:ANYBIO, and the more specific WP:NGRIDIRON, WP:NCOLLATH, WP:NHSPHSATH, and WP:NSEASONS. Meters (talk) 20:24, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn by nominator There does appear to be sufficient coverage of this player to show notability. We need to improve the article, but that does not concern this AFD. Meters (talk) 23:04, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Nothing notable? Not only does he clearly pass WP:GNG which trumps all of those other policies, but he is the starting running back on the number one team in the country...--Yankees10 20:29, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, obviously. Lizard (talk) 20:40, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'll be happy to withdraw this if he is notable, but simply playing for a notable team does not make him notable. Unless being a good high school player who is recruited is sufficient to show notability the article needs more meat. Aside from that all we source (and that is just to local media) is that he started a game in his second season of college ball. We need to show that he has gained national media attention as an individual player. Meters (talk) 22:21, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, he's the starting running back on not only the number 1 team, but a team that over the past several seasons has had many high-profile running backs (Mark Ingram Jr., Trent Richardson, Eddie Lacy, Derrick Henry). Thus, because of the success of his predecessors, anyone who plays running back for Alabama is guaranteed to draw attention from the media. If you'd kindly withdraw the nomination I'm almost positive I can find some sources to establish his notability. Lizard (talk) 22:54, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
