Comment: CBl's sources to me show a pass of , and not just one or two but enough to put together an article.  It has been argued that the coverage is mostly local, but the word "local" is no where to be found in

Comment: I'm sorry, but I have to invoke  here. Hayes has been written about in his local hometown paper (he grew up in Old Town and played college ball in Orono, which are both ten miles down the road from Bangor) and by the Portland, Maine paper (which, looking through their archives, covers all college football in Maine). There's no coverage of him which isn't local coverage of a local player. The sources I can access all interview him heavily, which brings the question of whether these sources are sufficiently independent into play. And apart from being a second-team All-American in a non-top-tier college division, he really didn't accomplish much on the gridiron, never quite making the NFL like so many others. Keeping this would mean our standards for notable college football players are if you get written about in your hometown paper plus one other local paper, and I think that goes against the entire premise of the notability of , as  is really just a proxy for "is this person worthy of note?". However, it looks like he did play in NFL Europe, and if he was covered significantly there I might change my mind

Comment: Doesn't pass  or  and agree with Sandals1 that multiple articles in 2 papers is not enough to meet  especially with the amount of coverage American football gets in the US, 2 sources seems like very little

Comment: The sources referenced above constitute significant coverage in multiple, reliable, and independent sources. If the coverage were limited to a single smalltown paper,  would not be satisfied, but the coverage here is unusually extensive and si found in both the ''Portland Press Herald'' and the ''Bangor Daily News
