Fails guidelines for WP:NCOLLATH notability. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 01:00, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

He's got notability in his college career - he went through an entire season in the Big 12 without giving up a sack.

Please see WP:NCOLLATH. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 01:42, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, he gained national media attention as a top prospect for next year's draft.MaroonFrog (talk) 01:58, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That was actually the reason I nominated for AFD and not csd, a projected draft is not a final thing. I could be wrong but I'm not seeing the other parts needed. We can let others weigh in and if I'm wrong I'm ok with that :) Hell in a Bucket (talk) 02:01, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Updated with national media attention for his individual play, per the requirements of WP:NCOLLATH MaroonFrog (talk) 15:40, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The nomination overlooks WP:GNG. It is well established the WP:NCOLLATH is not an exclusive standard; indeed, the intro to the guideline explicitly states: "Failing to meet the criteria in this guideline means that notability will need to be established in other ways (e.g. the general notability guideline ..." Here, Niang is a truly rare case -- a college level offensive lineman who has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources and thus passes the GNG bar. Offensive linemen almost never get press at college level. E.g., [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. Cbl62 (talk) 19:30, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Decent point about O-lineman. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 19:35, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw, per User:Cbl62 Hell in a Bucket (talk) 13:01, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Meets WP:GNG and WP:BASIC, per Cbl62's sources. Ejgreen77 (talk) 00:16, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
