Deletion of Stephen Garcia

Comment: Anyone who knows me knows I fight for football player articles to be kept. But even this one I cannot. First, he isn't in the top ten for recruiting in his position in the nation. Second,  states they must have ''played'' as a college athlete to warrant an article. I'd be happy to recreate this article once he plays. Also, the article is so horrible as it's just about him going to sign with South Carolina that it would just need to be blanked and started over. See ya in a few years kid

Comment: I'm no longer concerned with the results of this silly deletion poll.  It does not matter because Stephen Garcia will commit to a college football team of notable status on Thursday December 7, 2006, in a conference at Jefferson Senior High School at either 11:00 am or 1:00 pm.  After this official announcement your argument that he is not notable will be unjustifiable. The io states that '''"Articles about first team squad members who have not made a first team appearance may also be appropriate, but only if the individual is at a club of sufficient stature that most members of its squad are worthy of articles."'''  All of the teams that Stephen Garcia is looking at playing for have multiple notable athletes.  '''Also''' Stephen Garcia is included in multiple published resources including several newpapers and a few magazines.  He also meets the criterion for the "Search Engine Test -- Does a search for the subject produce a large number of distinguishable hits on Google (1), Alexa (2), Yahoo! (3 or other well-known Internet search engine?"  I am in no way closely related to Stephen Garcia nor have I ever met him. All of the information will almost certainly be verifiable in the future because of the high chance of professional acheivements in football.  Especially under coaching from Steve Spurrier. Stephen Garcia even passes the criterion for "Notable Actors and Television Personalities" as he has a rather large fan base. (from South Carolina Gamecock fans).  There are several videos of fans who drove hundreds of miles to Tampa, Florida to see him play in a High school game. He also gets signifigant local media attention, having his own section on the "Tampa Bay Online" website, www.TBO.com.  This article could also be written into the "perfect article".  It's subject (Stephen Garcia) will almost undoubtably be successful and is a very interesting person. He also shares a good deal of information about himself and his family with the public and would likely provide additional information in the future.  '''As you can probably tell by now (or at least tommorrow at 1:00 PM, there is little if no sense in continuing the comments on this page.'''  This page will be valid soon.     I will also re-edit this page once Stephen Garcia has signed to make it more accurate in such ways as deleting the section about his college decision and adding a section about his future with his new team

Comment: Which user? If you're talking about my suggestion to delete a different article, that's because it was essentially a duplicate of this one, which is unnecessary. And why do you presume to know what would give other Wikipedians a sense of pride if you've only had an account for four days? Also, #Wikipedia_is_not_a_crystal_ball|Wikipedia is not a crystal ball
