Deletion of Ricky Elmore (2nd nomination)

Comment: The sources cited above by Yankees10 constitute significant coverage, ''i.e.'', they are articles focused on Elmore rather than routine passing references in game coverage.  The sources also cover a wide geographic area with articles from outlets in Wisconsin, Arizona, Florida, Oklahoma and Texas.  This one passes muster under

Comment: Subject player clearly does not satisfy the specific notability guidelines for college athletes per  (no major/national awards) or for pro football players per  (never played a regular season game in NFL, CFL, etc.).  Subject's notability rises or falls on the general guidelines per , which requires significant coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources.  Independent sources linked above by Yankees10 include one hometown article about his college career, one 3-question Q&A profile in another home state newspaper, a pre-bowl bullet-point profile in hometown newspaper of the Alamo Bowl, and hometown newspaper stories in Miami (a blog, actually) and Milwaukee (local sports column).  Yes, based on existing sources, you can make an argument that the subject technically satisfies GNG, but you can also make the argument that all of the listed coverage is either routine or is heavily discounted because it's all local.  Per , technical satisfaction of GNG is a pre-condition, but not a guarantee of inclusion of a stand-alone article.  The best coverage of the subject is about him trying to make an NFL pro team, which he failed to do -- where is the encyclopedic content?  Can anyone find more significant coverage of his college football career (a sport that he actually played) to convince me to "keep" this article
