Deletion of Obi Egekeze

Comment: He was a two-year starter at a big-time football program, ranks among the Top 10 scoring leaders in Maryland Terrapins football history (dating back to the 1890s), was twice selected as an Academic All-ACC player, and there's enough non-trivial coverage of his collegiate football career at Maryland to meet the  standard.  There have been multiple stories specifically about him (i.e., not statistic reports or passing references in game coverage) in ''The Washington Post'', ''The Baltimore Sun'', ''The Washington Times'', and ''The Washington Examiner''.  A few examples that pop up from a google search (the first five being feature stories about Egekeze): '''(1)''' http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/02/AR2008100203580.html Terps' Egekeze Stays Positive: After Missing First Five Kicks, Senior Has Made Five in a Row, The Washington Post, Oct. 4, 2008; '''(2)''' http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2007/sep/11/to-win-job-egekeze-reboots/?page=1 To win job, Egekeze reboots; Kicker revamped game, landed position on his third try, The Washington Times, Sept. 11, 2007; '''(3)''' http://washingtonexaminer.com/sports/maryland-kicker-egekeze-its-now-all-good For Maryland kicker Egekeze, it's now all good, The Washington Examiner, Nov. 5, 2008; '''(4)''' http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2008-11-06/sports/0811050267_1_egekeze-rain-kick Giving slump the boot: After 0-for-5 start to begin season that nearly cost him his job, kicker Egekeze finds footing, gets back in groove for Terps, The Sun (Baltimore), Nov. 6, 2009; '''(5)''' http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/sep/19/egekezes-misfires-concern-terps/ Egekeze's misfires concern Terps, The Washington Times, September 19, 2008; '''(6)''' Egekeze unseats Ennis as Terps' starting kicker, The Sun (Baltimore, Md.), Aug 20, 2006; '''(7)''' http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=WT&p_theme=wt&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=113ABAA64028AA28&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM Terps' Ennis, Egekeze seek job, August 20, 2006, The Washington Times; '''(8)''' http://voices.washingtonpost.com/terrapins-insider/2008/09/egekezes_margin_for_error.html Egekeze's Margin for Error, The Washington Post, Sept. 19, 2008; '''(9)''' http://www.washingtontimes.com/weblogs/d1scourse/2008/Sep/22/a-week-later-for-obi/ A week later for Obi, The Washington Times, Sept. 22, 2008; '''(10)''' http://www.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/uwire/042606aab.html Egekeze, Ennis unable to solidify kicking job, CSTV U-Wire, April 26, 2006; '''(11)''' http://www.testudotimes.com/2008/9/18/617400/egekeze-is-alive-and-kicki Egekeze is Alive and Kickin', Testudo Times, Sept. 18, 2008; '''(12)''' http://washingtonexaminer.com/sports/terps-egekeze-boots-no-17-unc-17-15-upset Terps?

Comment: coverage is quite extensive, although I prefer to limit college athlete articles to All-Americans and All-Conference players from major conferences.  With the press providing easily accessible , even otherwise unnotable players can document the wikipedia definition of notability with some press clippings
