As for your substantive proposal I agree that significant coverage in multiple sources is the GNG standard but the sources don t have to be presented before an article can be created For example I created 1892 Harvard Crimson football team knowing that significant coverage exists in multiple sources but for starting purposes I considered it sufficient to have citations to reliable sources such as the Harvard site and CFDW Hopefully another editor will pick up the baton and expand further but I don t see how or why an article such as 1892 Harvard should be a candidate for deletion when a search of The New York Times archives of newspapers com turns up a plethora of coverage for the topic Stubs are not where we end up but sometimes they serve a useful purpose in getting things started See WP ARTN Notability is a property of a subject and not of a Wikipedia article if the source material exists even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject s notability
