Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andre Holmes
I was initially inclined to vote "delete" on this one.  After all, Holmes played for Hillsdale College, which is a Division II program.  But as I started digging, I found enough to satisfy me that he passes  with the amount of non-trivial coverage he has received in the mainstream media.  The feature stories in ESPN.com and ''Chicago Sun-Times'' tipped the scales in favor of a "keep."  Holmes also set the all-time record for receiving yardage in Hillsdale College history and played in the Texas vs. The Nation All-Star Game.  Examples of the non-trivial coverage includes: '''(1)''' "http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/colleges/post/_/id/2837/ex-conant-star-primed-for-nfl-chance Ex-Conant star primed for NFL chance, April 28, 2011, ESPN.com; '''(2)''' "http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/5040297-419/ex-depaul-star-kevin-holmes-excited-about-sons-nfl-draft-chances.html Ex-DePaul star Kevin Holmes excited about son's NFL draft chances," ''Chicago Sun-Times'', April 26, 2011; '''(3)''' http://www.onenewspage.com/n/Lifestyle/74mqm1kfx/Hillsdale-star-Andre-Holmes-seeks-spot-with.htm Hillsdale star Andre Holmes seeks a spot with Vikings," The Detroit News, July 28, 2011; '''(4)''' "Good to be home, Holmes sets record as Chargers win," The Hillsdale Daily News, November 8, 2010 (reporting that Holmes had set the all-time record at Hillsdale for receiving yardage), '''(5)''' "Quality compadres: Juniors Weatherhead and Holmes are a big part of Chargers' success," The Hillsdale Daily News, November 6, 2009, '''(6)''' "Holmes headed to All-Star game,  WR accepts bid to Texas vs. The Nation game," The Hillsdale Daily News, December 9, 2010, '''(7)''' "Two Chargers earn All-American, Holmes, Weatherhead garner honors," The Hillsdale Daily News, June 9, 2010, '''(8)''' "http://www.hillsdalecollegian.com/nfl-teams-look-for-holmes-in-late-rounds-1.2211490#.TrLvzkOa9tk NFL teams look for Holmes in late rounds", The Collegian, April 28, 2011; '''(9)''' "http://www.mlive.com/sports/jackson/index.ssf/2010/12/hillsdale_college_wide_receive.html Hillsdale College wide receiver Andre Holmes to take part in Texas vs. The Nation All-Star Game," The Jackson Citizen Patriot, December 9, 2010; '''(10)''' "http://news.breakingdetroitnews.com/tweets/68320575344488448 Hillsdale WR Andre Holmes not worried by NFL lockout limbo," Detroit Free Press, May 14, 2011, '''(11)''' "http://cowboysblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2011/04/cowboys-woo-draft-worth-visito.html Draft prospect Andre Holmes impressed with Cowboys visit," Dallas Morning News Blog, April 21, 2011
