[edit] Tim Tebow

Re-nominating for deletion. The guy's a bench warmer, a freshman who hasn't started a game, and isn't going to, any time in the future. So let's list all 100 players on all 100+ Division I-A schools. And why stop there, let's go all the way to the NAIA. Previous AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tim Tebow. User:Zoe|(talk) 21:24, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Not notable.-Kmaguir1 21:53, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
• Change vote to Keep' per arguments below.-Kmaguir1 07:15, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, perhaps speedily as a WP:POINT violation or per Speedy Keep A5. This nomiantion closed consensus keep less than a week ago. --badlydrawnjeff talk 21:26, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep. How many times do we have to go through this? There are lesser important people who have been featured articles (KaDee Strickland, anyone?). Do a web search for Tim Tebow. I got over 88,000 returns. That would indicate people are keeping track of him. As to the fact he is a bench warmer—and thus there are "more important" articles to be make first—make them. There are articles to 2001-2006 football seasons for non-BCS-eligible teams while major college programs don't even have main football articles up. Should we delete the 2006 Colorado Buffaloes football team article since there isn't an Alabama Crimson Tide football or Tennessee Volunteers football article up? --WTStoffs 06:55, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Why doesn't media hype confer notability? Plenty of people have heard of him and could conceivably come here looking for information about him. Heck, we have articles on current high school basketball players (O.J. Mayo)!
• STRONG KEEP - who said tebow hasn't nor will he start in the near future? they were just talking on college gameday about the controversy on whether it will be leak or tebow. everyone says he'll play early, neither as the starter, but nor in a two qb system, but he will get playing time, he will probably be a heisman candidate as a senior, so wikipedia.com can say that they were there from the beginning, keep it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.25.172.85 (talk • contribs) 04:39, 31 August 2006
• I think you just have to trust that the sports people here know what they're doing and know how to judge these articles. You don't have to appeal to a slippery slope argument -- no one has any plans to make articles on every college football player, let alone NAIA players! Zagalejo 14:29, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
