Keep Was drafted in the 2011 NFL Draft, which should be enough to make him notable.--Giants27(T|C) 19:04, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Being drafted does not meet any inclusion criteria. Eagles 24/7 (C) 23:03, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In that case, drafted status, much like being on an active roster and not playing, needs to be discussed further.--Giants27(T|C) 23:08, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Go start a discussion at WT:NSPORT then. Right now it doesn't cover drafted players. Eagles 24/7 (C) 23:45, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete guards are rarely notable in college. He hasn't played a down professionally yet. Will he? Maybe so. THEN we create the article, not before.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:02, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:NSPORTS, having never played at highest level. NSPORTS does not automatically assume notability of a any player drafted, let alone a late seventh-round pick. Fails WP:GNG with lack of non-routine coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. WP:CRYSTAL would suggest not to speculate on future notability based on whether the player ever plays in the NFL.—Bagumba (talk) 07:40, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
