Signing with a college, in and of itself, doesn't indicate notability. From WP:BIO -- "Articles about first team squad members who have not made a first team appearance may also be appropriate, but only if the individual is at a club of sufficient stature that most members of its squad are worthy of articles." Based on your notation, Mr. Garcia has yet to make an appearance, let alone be named as a first-stringer. As a result, he is not notable under the definition set for athletes in Wikipedia. --Mhking 22:14, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
First team in that context, implies first string. I would argue that most (if not all) collegiate signees at this point are not notable. That discussion took place in the prior deletion discussion. If Mr. Garcia makes the team, starts, and presents statistics in his collegiate start (or starts), then I would consider him notable under WP:BIO. At that point, I would happily include him, and write the article myself. Until that point, I will continue to oppose his inclusion in Wikipedia. I invite you to work on other aspects of WP, including the ongoing college football projects; I am sure that you have much to contribute to Wikipedia, and that you can contribute to those projects. Thanks. --Mhking 16:16, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
