I am as big a college football fan as anyone else, but Zach Frazer fails all measures of notability or even the prospect of being notable. None of the sources on the page pass WP:NOTNEWS and I do not see more sources which would indicate the article's passing of GNG. He is not the recipient of any major awards nor is he a prospect for the NFL, given that he has thrown 17 touchdowns and 21 interceptions over 3 years at Connecticut.

Keep I see quite a few articles of coverage just by clicking the "news" link above... could be added to the article, but that's editing not deletion.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:33, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep—Frazer meets the WP:GNG as the subject of several articles written by independent reliable sources. Granted, his article is a stub and needs to be expanded, but there is no deadline. –Grondemar 03:42, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per WP:GNG --Ashershow1_{talk•contribs} 03:23, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can anyone actually show the non-trivial, non- WP:NOTNEWS sources you are referring to? Otherwise it is WP:JUSTAVOTE.--TM 03:48, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here's four: [1], [2], [3], [4]. –Grondemar 03:54, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note also it literally took me less than a minute to find those sources. There are a lot more where those came from. –Grondemar 03:55, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. Extensive non-trivial news coverage as mentioned above. In addition to the articles cited by Grondemar, here's another example: [5]. He was the starting quarterback for a Division IA major college football team; starting QBs on major college teams are almost always going to receive sufficient coverage to establish notability. And he led the Huskies to the first BCS bowl game appearance in school history. Cbl62 (talk) 04:03, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
