Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Holmes (football player)
after reading through all this debate and looking at the article and linked stories, I don't think there's enough to sustain an article under either thlete or io.  The ESPN article is really the only thing that could count as significant coverage.  If it had been picked up by nationwide papers, I'd be swayed, but the evidence presented doesn't seem to say it was.  The USA Today short mention of "losing . . . John Holmes to legal problems" http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/bigeast/wvu.htm doesn't count as enough for me
