Although he passed recently, it is not notable enough to necessitate an article. EPIC STYLE ^{(LET'S TALK)} 06:27, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment as creator. Jordan was a star athlete in the Pac-12 scene. Odds are quite high someone would have made an article about him soon even if he hadn't passed. If you look at Template:Pac-12 Player of the Year, every other person on that Offensive Player of the Year line has an article.--Mike Selinker (talk) 06:30, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He is as notable as some others I have seen that have articles here on Wikipedia that have shown up as recently departed, and in many cases I have seen the red link for them and soon after the blue link indicating the article was made after death. So I have seen this a lot, I look at who passes away every day for the last year or so, even longer actually. So I see its common for articles to be made about someone after they die. And it is true and I agree an article would have been made anyway. Anyone getting a reward like Freshman of the Year in a major football conference like the Pac-12 would automatically make them a prospect pretty high up on the NFL's list is he were to maintain his talents. So this guy is as deserving as some of the other stuff I have seen that was not up for deletion.RobotWillie (talk) 07:30, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:BLP1E and WP:CRYSTAL. Coverage due to the circumstances of his death and young age, trivial content about another family member in the article, and he could've probably been something special but in the end played only one coronavirus-shortened season — a whopping five games — of college ball. Death does not establish notability. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 07:39, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Beemer69 rationale. Furthermore, quoting examples of articles made for other persons does not support the creation of this particular one - the exact circumstances for each are always different. As with all promising persons taken too soon, the deceased needed more time living to establish a true notability, rather than garnering some kind of crystal ball sympathy vote mainly because he died.

Keep Article expanded since nomination. Meets WP:GNG with signficant coverage by multiple, independent sources even before his death.—Bagumba (talk) 10:16, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He won an award that is part of the Template:College Football Awards. Therefore, he meets notability criteria under under WP:COLLATH. JoeyLyles (talk) 16:45, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this article. Ty Jordan is a legitimate public figure and this article includes legitimate references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gwgajc (talk • contribs) 17:29, 27 December 2020 (UTC) — Gwgajc (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Keep Death doesn't make a person notable for an article. Winning a major sports award such as Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Year does. Article meets WP:GNG. Mexicorni (talk) 10:35, 28 December 2020 (UTC)— Mexicorni (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Keep Agree with above. Winning Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Year in itself should meet WP:GNG. So should death of player during college career. PenulisHantu (talk) 19:55, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Two "keep" votes are from brand-new single-purpose accounts who have made no other edits thus far. sixtynine ^{• whaddya want? •} 05:00, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Passes both WP:GNG and WP:COLLATH as others have already explained. Smartyllama (talk) 13:38, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per User:Bagumba-the article has been expanded with citations-Thank You-RFD (talk) 16:26, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Meets WP:GNG and WP:BASIC, per all above. Ejgreen77 (talk) 15:47, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Jordan's award-winning playing career and his newsworthy death combine to satisfy GNG. LEPRICAVARK (talk) 23:12, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment In an example of WP:SUSTAINED coverage, here's significant coverage on him on Jan 1, 2021, many days after his death.—Bagumba (talk) 19:17, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
