Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ethan Cooper
Cooper was a D2 first-team All-American in 2016. He plainly passes  with significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. Characterization of the coverage as  is wholly fallacious.  Routine coverage consists of passing mentions in game coverage, brief transactional blurbs, etc. The coverage here consists of in-depth feature coverage in mainstream media outlets -- the antithesis of "routine" coverage. As noted by Paul M., offensive lineman almost never get such feature coverage. The fact that Cooper does is telling. Examples of such coverage include: '''(1)''' "http://www.post-gazette.com/sports/steelers/2017/06/02/IUP-ethan-cooper-offensive-line-steelers-OTAs/stories/201706020181 IUP alum Ethan Cooper living in the moment with Steelers", ''Pittsburgh Post-Gazette'', 6/2/17 (feature story); '''(2)''' "https://triblive.com/sports/steelers/12373867-74/former-iup-all-american-lineman-cooper-drawn-to-steelers-munchak Former IUP All-American lineman Ethan Cooper drawn to Steelers' Mike Munchak", ''Pittsburgh Tribune-Review'', 6/5/17 (feature story); '''(3)''' "https://www.pennlive.com/sports/index.ssf/2017/04/former_cd_east_standout_ethan.html Former CD East standout Ethan Cooper hopes name is called on NFL Draft's final day", ''The Patriot-News'', 4/29/17 (feature story); '''(4)''' "Giants have crowd of veteran guards blocking Ethan Cooper's path", ''Pro Football Weekly'', 5/23/18 (274 words, available at NewsLibrary.com); '''(5)''' https://www.pennlive.com/steelers/index.ssf/2017/08/harrisburgs_kyle_friend_ethan_cooper_tak_1.html Central Pa.'s Kyle Friend, Ethan Cooper taking it 'day-by-day' with Pittsburgh Steelers, ''The Patriot-News'', 8/19/17; '''(6)''' "http://www.latrobebulletinnews.com/news/2017-07-31/Sports/IUP_product_Cooper_looking_to_impress_childhood_cr.html IUP product Cooper looking to impress childhood cross-state rival", ''Latrobe Bulletin'', 7/31/17 (721-word feature story available through NewsLibrary.com); and '''(7)''' "https://www.pennlive.com/sports/index.ssf/2016/11/cd_east_grad_ethan_cooper_eyei.html CD East grad Ethan Cooper eyeing playoff run with IUP, NFL career", ''The Patriot-News'', 11/23/16
