High school football player with zero reliable sources. Article fails WP:GNG and WP:YOUNGATH. Even the local pieces in the article don't mention this individual, they mention the school and the Friedlander article mentions some other players in passing, but not this one. Just a heads up when searching for sources for this individual, there is a Brookwood High School football player with the same name but is a different individual in the same county. According to this edit the individual is a freshman at a brand new school that's only been open since August. I very much doubt that anyone is going to find significant coverage of a high school football player 3 months into their freshman year. Aoidh (talk) 16:59, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have tagged this under A7. The only claim to notability possible is that the subject plays high school football, which is definitely not actually a valid claim. GPL93 (talk) 20:38, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete fails WP:GNG and WP:YOUNGATH due to lack of WP:SIGCOV. CSD:A7 does not apply in my opinion due the subject receiving some level of routine coverage and having a minimal level of notability, but a regular “delete” close would have the same end-result.

@Frank Anchor: What coverage? He's a high school backup and I cannot find anything outside of database sites (some of which you can add yourself to) and Youtube/social media. The current 4 references are 2 Youtube videos from his high school football team's account, one of which is simply a replay of a Junior Varsity game, and the subject's 2 different personal Instagram accounts.

I don’t care to elaborate on the sources for an article which I voted “delete” but routine game report/ school profile listed in the article are enough to warrant an AFD (i.e. this discussion) rather than an open-and-shut A7 close. Frank Anchor 12:58, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
