Deletion of Ivan Rabb

Comment: The specific notability guideline for high school athletes is ; everyone is reminded that this is one of the rare specific notability guidelines which is intended to supersede the general notability guidelines per , and  is ''a tougher standard than GNG'' because of the usually local and often ephemeral nature of high school sports reputations.   specifically requires "'''''substantial and prolonged coverage''''' that is (1) independent of the subject and (2) clearly goes beyond WP:ROUTINE coverage.  Note that the first clause would exclude all school papers and school websites that cover their sports teams and other teams they compete against.  The second clause '''''excludes the majority of local coverage''''' in both news sources and sports specific publications.  It especially excludes using game play summaries, statistical results, or routine interviews as sources to establish notability

Comment: My thoughts echo those of Rikster2 immediately above.  I believe that the demanding standard of  is satisfied by the quality and depth of the national coverage regarding the subject.  I caution everyone participating in this AfD discussion who may see this as an endorsement of articles for every high school athlete who is a big-time college recruit; it's not.  Rabb seems to have received strong coverage in the national media so far, and very few other college recruits are going to receive comparable coverage -- especially when Scout.com, Rivals.com, and the like are excluded for determining notability
