[edit] Tim Tebow

Was listed for speedy deletion as a repost because of an earlier speedy deletion. I would prefer a dicussion over this article, so I bring it here. As a college football player bio, it is probably borderline in terms of notability, but as I have not much experience with American football, I would like to bring this to the attention of a wider community. No vote. Kusma (討論) 11:46, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep He is currently one of the most highly touted freshman quarterbacks in college football and according to reports will most likely see playing time this year. In addition, being featured in an ESPN documentary, being All-American and whatnot are enough to make him notable in my eyes. DrunkenSmurf 13:55, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per DrunkenSmurf. Almost 50,000 google hits for "Tim Tebow"+football. Zagalejo 21:51, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete the part about the etymology of the name Tim, and his parent's profession. This is not relavant to his notability claims. --Xrblsnggt 02:55, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

• Question Are you voting Delete for the entire article, or just that specific section? (Just wanted to make things clear). Zagalejo 03:04, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

• Either one I'd be happy really. --Xrblsnggt 04:12, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Actually I believe the profession of his parents contributes greatly to the reason he was homeschooled and the combination of the two is the direct reason why he was featured in the ESPN documentary. While it might not have anything to do with his notability per se, it is IMO an important piece of his personal history. And since the article is a biography of a person it would make no sense to delete it. DrunkenSmurf 15:35, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. It's been deleted before, but there is no point in doing it. It is relevant within college football, and we'd just need to add him again in 12 months when there could be no doubt to his relevance as he would be a starting QB for a major program. WTStoffs 05:17, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per DrunkenSmurf, looks notable within the realm of Americna college football, a nationally televised sport. RFerreira 07:41, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep quite possibly going to be the starting quarterback for a Top 25 team; in college football, it doesn't get any more notable than that. Stilgar135 05:06, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
