Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tony Gonzalez (wide receiver)
This was a close call, and very nearly a "weak keep" !vote.  Subject does not satisfy the specific notability guidelines for college athletes per  (no major awards or records), or professional football players per  (never played in and NFL regular season game).  Must satisfy the general notability guidelines per  with significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources.  So far, I have found two relatively short feature articles about Gonzalez (''http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/article/20090809/News/308099973 MetroWest Daily News'', ''http://bostonherald.com/sports/high_school/high_school_insider/2012/08/memory_lane_2000_framingham_takes_care_acton_boxboro Boston Herald''), and a lot two and three-sentence post-game  coverage of his college career at Boston College.  The two features are about the subject's high school and post-college coaching career, not his college playing career, which is the primary basis of his claim to notability.  On the other hand, there is plenty of ROUTINE post-game coverage to build out an article about his college career.  I personally prefer more significant coverage about a college athlete's ''college career'' to establish a college athlete's notability, but I do note that we have kept other CFB players with shakier claims to significant coverage than this.  If other editors can find additional ''significant coverage'' about the subject's college career, I could be prevailed upon to switch my !vote
