Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zane Taylor (American football)
Although the article focuses on his NFL career, Taylor appears to have achieved greater notability for his collegiate career.  Also, the article was just created today and is a work in progress.  College football players who have received significant, non-trivial coverage in the mainstream media may qualify under .  Offensive linemen like Taylor rarely receive much in the way of news coverage, but this guy is an exception to the rule.  Upon a quick search, I found quite a few feature stories about him.  They consist of stories in which Taylor is the main subject of the coverage, rather than passing references in game coverage.  Examples include: '''(1)''' "http://www.allbusiness.com/education-training/extra-curricular-activities/15035461-1.html Utes' Taylor at center of news in Moab," ''The Salt Lake Tribune'', August 23, 2010, '''(2)''' "http://archive.sltrib.com/article.php?id=13847194&itype=NGPSID&keyword=&qtype= Taylor destined to be a Ute,"  ''The Salt Lake Tribune'', November 22, 2009, '''(3)''' "http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705322182/Utah-Utes-football-Taylor-happy-back-in-the-center.html Taylor happy back in the center," ''The Deseret News'', August 9, 2009, '''(4)''' "http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700250774/Utah-Utes-football-Utes-feel-they-have-found-a-center-in-Taylor.html Utes feel they have found a center in Taylor," ''The Deseret News'', August 14, 2008, '''(5)''' "http://www.deseretnews.com/article/695267281/Utah-Utes-football-Taylors-sacrifice-pays-off-as-he-moves-to-front-of-line.html Taylor's sacrifice pays off as he moves to front of line," ''The Deseret News'', April 4, 2008, '''(6)''' "http://archive.sltrib.com/article.php?id=4004863&itype=NGPSID&keyword=&qtype= Zane Taylor: Grand star best known for leading Red Devils to first football title," ''The Salt Lake Tribune'', July 2, 2006, '''(7)''' "http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700059892/Utah-Utes-football-Zane-Taylor-among-candidates-for-award.html Zane Taylor among candidates for award," ''The Deseret News'', August 24, 2010, '''(8)''' "http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/blogsutahsports/51518148-59/taylor-pro-utes-working.html.csp Taylor ready for pro day," ''The Salt Lake Tribune'', March 28, 2011, '''(9)''' "http://www.moabtimes.com/view/full_story/10902592/article-Former-GCHS-football-star-preps-for-NFL-scouting-combine-and-draft?
