Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alex Light
This particular AfD may be rendered moot by Light's appearing in the near future in an NFL game, but players like Light are an ongoing gray area.  Some view the existence of significant coverage in local papers to be enough to overcome . Others view such coverage as routine. I tend toward the former, but I also recognize that there is room for reasonable minds to differ in particular cases. Here are some factors that IMO should be weighed in the close cases: '''(1)''' the level at which the individual played: Power 5 program > Division 1 FBS non-Power 5 program > FCS program > Division II, III, and NAIA (Division II, III and NAIA players are ''very'' rarely notable); '''(2)''' how "''local''" the coverage is: major metropolitan dailies > mid-size city newspapers > small-town newspapers; '''(3)''' the depth of coverage: feature stories > brief write-ups focused on the player > team profiles with brief discussion of player > passing mention in game coverage; and '''(4)''' the nature of the player's objective accomplishments (all-conference honors, records set, placement among leaders in significant statistical categories, high draft pick, etc.). In the case of Alex Light, he doesn't score too highly on any of these factors
