The discussion around this AfD has been constructive. I continue to believe the coverage, including feature stories in major metropolitan newspapers, is not , that such significant coverage is all that is required under GNG, and that GNG is the bedrock of our objective standards for notability.  At the same time, I recognize that there are significant factors that make this a close and controversial case. First, Cooper was a Division II player, and players at this level are ''very'' rarely notable.  Second, we have not found significant coverage received by Cooper ''during'' his college playing career. Instead, the coverage found all relates (as others have noted) to his efforts to make an NFL roster, all consists of local/regional coverage, and could be viewed by some as "feel-good, underdog-tries-for-the-big-time" coverage.  Because of these unique attributes, this AfD should be considered a very weak precedent whichever way it closes
