Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jarrod Polson
nbsp; Secondary guidelines such as Wikipedia:Notability (sports) are only relevant if the topic doesn't meet WP:GNG but the topic is notable anyway, so I have not reviewed otability (sports).&nbsp; In this case, the first five links of the Google news link provide Polson as the headline of the article and show a topic that has received attention from the world at large over a period of time.&nbsp; http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=LH&s_site=kentucky&p_multi=LH&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=12E7FF3733601598&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=LH&s_site=kentucky&p_multi=LH&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=12F62A91A9A7B240&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM http://www.ukathletics.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/polson_jarrod00.html http://www.lostlettermen.com/wiltjer-polson-create-uk-title-rap http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=LH&s_site=kentucky&p_multi=LH&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=126E0B3901359200&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM These sources satisfy both WP:GNG and WP:BLP, and is just the beginning of the list.&nbsp; Perhaps there is a sense of objection that Polson is not one of the five starters, but that would be an argument to merge a wp:notable topic, not to delete it.&nbsp; In this case, the topic received in-depth media attention starting with his junior year in high school, and unusual attention for being a UK walk-on that quickly earned a UK scholarship, and these are factors that merit individual coverage.&nbsp; IMO, the article would be improved with some editing so as to focus on the topic, as the accomplishments of his teams are secondary
