Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joshua Kalu
WP:NGRIDIRON is an inclusionary standard, not an exclusionary one. Accordingly, notability needs to be further assessed under . In this case, Kalu was a four-year player (46 games, 2014-2017, see stats https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/joshua-kalu-1.html here) and key defensive player (cornerback/safety) for Nebraska who received significant coverage in multiple, reliable, and independent sources.  A sampling of coverage includes: '''(1)''' https://www.newspapers.com/clip/25526291/nu_changes_failed_to_frazzle_kalu/ this feature story that was published in multiple newspapers in January 2018.

It would be nice if a Nebraska fan would integrate some of these sources into the article, but that's an editing issue, not a cause for deletion
