- Keep - If this article should be deleted then so should Brandon Knight (basketball), Terrence Jones, Anthony Davis (basketball), Michael Gilchrist, Marquis Teague, Vernon Macklin, Chandler Parsons, Gilbert Brown (basketball), Kemba Walker, Chris Wright (basketball, born 1989), Preston Knowles, Etc. Those are only from about 5 college team there are many many more. If those are not proposed for deletion then neither should this one because they are both based on college athletes that have done nothing at the next level.

- Keep - I am very familiar with the notability criteria for college athletes. One of them is that the person individually receives significant news coverage (not simply as a member of the team) they may be notable (none of the criteria are absolutes, actually). Green is considered one of the top players in one of the top leagues (SEC) and, as such, has gotten a good amount of press. Just this morning, his picture and name were used on a national ESPN TV spot to promote one of today's games. The article is fairly fleshed out, as opposed to a stub, so I'd be inclined to keep it. Information on Green's suspension this year should probably be added, though, to ensure it is a balanced NPOV. Rikster2 (talk) 14:15, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
