[edit] Robert Marve

Robert Marve (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested PROD. Non-notable athlete, has yet to play (and won't for a season!) down of college football. Scout.com sources are meaningless since every college football player has a page there and many high school players do as well that aren't notable with the ESPN one not about this player and just mentions him in passing. Not a notable player, yet. Re-create when named starter or plays or gets more coverage (ie, transfer). MECU≈talk 13:18, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Keep - If you really want this article deleted then you might as well nominate Jimmy Clausen for the same reasons. Seancp 13:45, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

There is a big difference between Clausen and Marve. One will be playing this season and has articles about just him and the other doesn't. One has been the subject on ESPN Sportscenter (right or wrong) segments.... I could go on. MECU≈talk 15:21, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Clausen is going to play this year? I have not heard that.↔NMajdan•talk 16:08, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

I didn't mean play as in named starting QB or what-not, but the difference between being injured and not playing and at least playing in practice type. Also, Clausen has articles about him and just him, ala http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2990282&campaign=rss&source=NCFHeadlines MECU≈talk 14:03, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Rather large difference between Robert Marve and Jimmy Clausen, I think. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 14:09, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect to Miami Hurricanes - Maybe one day he'll get the starting job and become notable Corpx 16:24, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - This is not some giant article; it's mostly a stub. He lead his team to a state championship, won Mr. Football, is the son of a long-time NFL player,and was heavily recruited. Other recruits who have yet play a down of college football but have wiki articles (most bigger than Marve's): Terrance Toliver, Marc Tyler, Arrelious Benn, John Brantley, Jimmy Clausen, Noel Devine, Joe McKnight, Everson Griffen, Chris Galippo... Sure some may be more "famous," but others are arguably less - so why draw the line with Marve? Granted, he has hardly achieved the serious national fame he is likly to, but I certainly don't see a problem documenting what little fame he has already achieved. Seems like deletion would be a waste of a perfectly reasonable wiki entry.--Mcmachete 07:21, 24 August 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcmachete (talk • contribs)
• Delete as non-notable per WP:BIO. Anything could happen to him before he even plays, much less starts or becomes truly notable; car-wreck, fails out, career-ending injury (see Tyrone Prothro). As to the Clausen and other recruits above, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a good argument and I'll be happy to support deletion for any (or all) of them. AUTiger » talk 20:56, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - I'm all for having articles about noteworthy college players ... but they ought to at least play a down or two of football first. Plenty of kids who look like amazing prospects out of high school never do anything in college. This should be deleted without prejudice against recreation if and when he becomes the starting quarterback. --B 20:28, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per above. --Hooperbloob 04:18, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
