Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scooter Berry (3rd nomination)
College football players who have received significant non-trivial coverage in the mainstream media are eligible for inclusion under .  The overwhelming majority of college football players do not meet that standard, and very few defensive players (or linemen of any type) get that kind of media attention.  But Berry clearly does.  He even meets #College_athletes since he has received coverage in the national media.  He was a key defensive player on the 2007 West Virginia Mountaineers football team that beat #3 Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl and wound up as the #6 team in the country.  I could compile a much longer list, but examples of non-trivial media coverage about Berry include: '''(1)''' http://espn.go.com/blog/bigeast/post/_/id/11785/scooter-berry-looking-to-make-up-for-lost-09 Scooter Berry looking to atone for lost '09, ESPN, 9/2/10, '''(2)''' http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/newsday/access/1187675271.html?dids=1187675271:1187675271&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Dec+31%2C+2006&author=GREGG+SARRA.+STAFF+WRITER&pub=Newsday+(Combined+editions)&desc=Berry+leaves+Gwaltney's+shadow%2C+carves+out+promising+WVU+situation&pqatl=google Berry leaves Gwaltney's shadow, carves out promising WVU situation, Newsday, 12/31/06, '''(3)'''  http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09287/1005244-144.stm West Virginia's Berry slowly recovering, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 10/14/09, '''(4)''' http://www.newsday.com/sports/college/scooter-berry-anchors-defensive-line-at-west-virginia-1.1408680 Scooter Berry anchors defensive line at West Virginia, Newsday, 8/30/09, '''(5)''' http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4580220 WVU suspends Berry indefinitely, ESPN, 10/20/09, '''(6)''' http://timeswv.com/wvu_sports/x1243790780/Berry-gearing-up-for-comeback-year Berry gearing up for comeback year, Times West Virginian, 8/9/10, '''(7)'''' http://www.dailymail.com/Sports/201008080409 Now or nothing' season for Berry, McClatchy-Tribune Regional News, 8/9/10, '''(8)''' http://vlex.com/vid/berry-ready-emerge-shadow-his-brother-64276241 Berry ready to emerge from shadow of his brother, Charleston Gazette, 8/17/06, '''(9)''' http://timeswv.com/wvu_sports/x1293915449/HERTZEL-COLUMN-Berry-no-stranger-to-Backyard-Brawl Berry no stranger to Backyard Brawl, Times West Virginian, 11/23/10, '''(10)''' http://pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/sports/college/s_696358.html WVU's Berry: 'I'm back', Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, 8/25/10, '''(11)''' http://www.register-herald.com/collegesports/x1316177235/Berry-primed-to-be-D-leader Berry primed to be ‘D’ leader, The Register-Herald, 8/16/10, '''(12)''' http://msn.foxsports.com/collegefootball/story/WVU-FOOTBALLOld-man-of-theDSixyear-vet-Berry-ready-for-one-last-goround-56062980 WVU FOOTBALL Old man of the D Six-year vet Berry ready for one last go-round, Charleston Gazette, 8/9/10, '''(13)''' DT Berry: 'I feel like I'm about 40': Determined to leave his woes behind, McClatchy-Tribune Regional News, 8/8/10, '''(14)''' Ruckus costs Berry, Newsday, 11/13/09, '''(15)''' BERRY'S SLOW RECOVERY HELPS BUILD DEPTH IN LINE, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 10/14/09, '''(15)''' Berry expects to play, McClatchy-Tribune Regional News, 10/7/09, '''(16)''' http://timeswv.com/bob_herzel/x20303756/HERTZEL-COLUMN-Berry-hoping-to-find-field-Saturday Berry hoping to find field Saturday, Times West Virginian, 9/17/09, '''(17)''' http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-20649054.html Berry savors role as leader, Charleston Gazette (and McClatchy-Tribune Regional News), 8/17/09, '''(18)''' Junior tackle Berry putting in his summer work, The Jackson Herald, 6/9/09, '''(19)''' http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-18931035.html Bowl could be reunion for Berry and his mom, Charleston Gazette, 12/19/08, '''(20)''' Berry, half-brother go different directions, Times West Virginian, 11/24/08, '''(21)''' Waiting for WVU offense to become Berry good, too, McClatchy-Tribune Regional News, 10/5/08, '''(22)''' http://timeswv.com/bob_herzel/x681684625/WVU-s-Berry-making-name-for-himself WVU's Berry making name for himself, Times West Virginian, 10/5/08, '''(23)''' http://bdtonline.com/localsports/x519526076/Berry-anxious-to-start-Mountaineer-football-season/print Berry anxious to start Mountaineer football season, McClatchy-Tribune Regional News, 8/28/08, '''(24)''' http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-16731508.html WVU's Scooter Berry doesn't miss offense, Charleston Daily Mail, 6/16/08, '''(25)''' Berry is young leader on D-line, Times West Virginian, 6/12/08, '''(26)''' Berry is 'looking forward to playing a leadership role', The Register-Herald (Beckley, WV), 6/11/08, '''(27)''' http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-15537077.html Berry is accepting leadership role at WVU, Charleston Daily Mail, 3/19/08, '''(28)''' http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-9983034.html Gwaltney's half-brother emerging: Scooter Berry will start on the Mountaineer defensive line Saturday, Charleston Daily Mail, 8/28/07
