Ju-Ju Clayton[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Clayton is the backup quarterback for Virginia Tech and the only source found is entitled, "Is Virginia Tech Quarterback Ju-Ju Clayton almost famous? Not yet". Fails WP:ATH and WP:GNG. Giants 27(c|s) 18:33, 21 October 2009 (UTC) *Keep As Creater of the article. Only sources found? What about the other three, there is also this and numerous other Articles with his name on them.--SKATER ^Speak. 18:48, 21 October 2009 (UTC)**Yes his name is in that one, however how is that notable? Clayton tries to make first pass a good one, sounds like someone who hasn't accomplished anything in their college career. While the other sources on the article, are VT bios and game notes, which are not third-party sources.--Giants 27(c|s) 18:53, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I have a very low threshold is for college football player notability, but this one seems to scream out, "I'm not notable -- at least not yet." The guy is a backup quarterback, and the one mainstream third-party media article that is cited about him is titled: "Is Virginia Tech quarterback Ju-Ju Clayton almost famous? Not yet." So even the source cited says he's not yet even almost famous. He may be notable once he establishes himself as a college player, and should that happen, the article can be re-created without prejudice. But he doesn't appear to have established notability yet.

Delete Actually after thinking about it for a while and going on an hour search for sources, I have to agree he's not notable yet...Hell give it a year or two when he's the starter.

By the way Giants...This Nomination wouldn't have anything to do with the Giants getting killed the Saints would it ;), nah jk...--SKATER ^Speak. 23:34, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:ATH. Assuming he starts in the future (but college football is far from certain) he'd likely pass WP:ATH then, but Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Cocytus [»talk«] 02:43, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
