Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steve Gatena (3rd nomination)
Likely passes thlete... ''If'' he has indeed played for USC, which is a Division I team "the highest amateur level" for American football. Some have argued college players don't meet TH if there is a professional level for the same sport. That is nonsense, and reading into TH what isn't there. thlete says: ''"People who have competed at the highest amateur level of a sport, usually considered to mean the Olympic Games or World Championships."'' As for the number of players who meet this criterion: Who cares? Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia and '''there almost 3 million articles right now'''. Even if there were 100,000 college sports player articles, that would only be about three percent of all current articles. This nomination is about this player only, not any number of other players. It isn't about successfully walking on or not, either. The line of inclusion is game action. Has he, or has he not, seen action in an NCAA Division I game
