Possibly WP:TOOSOON, this is a self-created article for a comedian which has one reference to IMDB, one to his college football stats page, and two to articles about his brother. Notability is not inherited. A WP:BEFORE search suggests he does not meet WP:GNG or WP:ENT Melcous (talk) 06:43, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Passes GNG [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. From nl.newsbank.com, "Campbell doing best to live up to family name at UM", "Campbell lifting game, inch by inch", "Two pairs of brothers and two cousins make Cardinals camp a family affair". WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 21:24, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: All but one of those sources are about his college football career, so doesn't the question then become whether he passes WP:NCOLLATH? I'm not convinced he does (no national media attention). At this stage I'm not changing my vote therefore, but I would propose that if he is found to meet that notability guideline on that basis, the name of the article should be changed to Jared Campbell and the focus be on his football career, not his self-promotion as a comedian.

I don't think NCOLLATH overrides GNG. Hmm. Also, Jared Campbell would probably be his WP:COMMONNAME. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 20:49, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I would say that would make him notable for his college career and passes WP:GNG.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:38, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - It appears that he doesn't quite pass gridiron football notability because there is no indication that he ever actually played a game in the National Football League. He may have been cut from the team without playing in a preseason game. However, that is close enough to stubify and tag the article rather than deleting it.
