Player who has never played professionally, thus fails
WP:NGRIDIRON after satisfying none of the other requirements. Also fails to satisfy
WP:NCOLLATH. PROD removed with reason "notable college career. Added references", yet career shows otherwise.

Comment:
Yankees10, please adhere to
Wikipedia:Civility, one of the
Wikipedia:Five pillars. Your addition of two sources (one of which from a "HawaiiWarriorBeat.Com Editor") make him notable to you, I don't doubt that, however we are looking for general consensus. I personally find it hard to believe that a generally notable person would have just a handful of sources.

Keep. Passes
WP:GNG as he has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple mainstream media outlets, including the items cited above by Yankees10, so as to pass
WP:GNG.

Weak Keep - The subject does not satisfy the specific notability guideline for college athletes per
WP:NCOLLATH (no mjaor awards or records) or professional football players per
WP:NGRIDIRON (never played in a regular season game in the NFL or other major league). I did find significant coverage from the two major newspapers in Hawaii about the subject's college career, and some lesser, but still significant coverage from the run-up to the 2008 Sugar Bowl from multiple news outlets outside Hawaii. Personally, I like to see more coverage from outside the hometown/home region when making determinations of notability under the general notability guidelines per
WP:GNG, but on balance, I believe the subject satisfies the GNG standard in this case.
