Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Damarea Crockett
Passes . SportingFlyer continues to advocate a drastic change to GNG despite the fact that precisely such a change was expressly rejected by the community when recently presented here: Wikipedia talk:Notability#Local sources, again. Now, don't get me wrong, I am not advocating the creation of articles based on isolated reports in a single small-town paper, but SportingFlyer's position would reject significant coverage from major metropolitan dailies such as ''The Kansas City Star'' and ''St. Louis Post-Dispatch'' simply because the source is located "too close" (in one case 125 to the west and in the other a similar distance to the east) to the school where Crockett played football as the lead running back and 1,000-yard-rusher for a Power Five conferences|Power Five Conference (SEC) team.  This view is insupportable (and even dangerous) IMO. We can and should discount the student newspaper (in this case ''The Maneater'') as counting toward GNG. Moreover, if the coverage were solely limited to the ''Columbia Daily Tribune'', we'd have an issue under the "multiple" sources requirement. But here, the coverage is far more widespread and satisfies GNG
