Comment: Meets  with multiple sources of significant coverage cited, including many before the recent death coverage. They are not routine, planned coverage of games, but rather articles with Upshaw as the main subject and in the title. Moreover, not meeting an SNG is not a reason to delete.  Per : "Subjects that do not meet the sport-specific criteria outlined in this guideline may still be notable if they meet the General Notability Guideline ..." Pro athletes that die while competing will undoubtedly be referenced in the future. The timing of the article's creation and its ITN status are red herrings
