The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was no consensus. Opinion is split as to whether the sources meet
WP:GNG. I don't find the arguments on either side sufficiently persuasive to override the lack of a clear consensus. Having regard to
WP:RELIST, a third relist would not be justified.

delete Fairly typical sports coverage of a college punter. Nothing to show that the GNG or
WP:NGRIDIRON is met. If he'd won the Ray Guy award I'd say a case for notability could be made, but being one of 31 on a preseason watch list doesn't do it.

Delete Per nom. Overall a non-notable punter that never had much of a career beyond college. He made all SEC a few times but that’s not enough to warrant an article.--Rockchalk71718:35, 19 June 2019 (UTC)reply
Keep. Passes
WP:GNG based on extensive regional coverage he received as the leading punter in the SEC while playing at Auburn. Over 1,000 hits on Newspapers.com. A few examples of the coverage include: (1)
this from Gannett News Service, (2)
this from The Decatur Daily, (3)
this and (4)
this from The Tennessean, (5)
this and (6)
this from The Anniston Star, (7)
this from The Montgomery Advertiser.

Keep based on the sources presented and the awards that Bliss won in his time at AU. I think it's pretty reasonable to say he passes the GNG.

Comment I'm not seeing that he won any notable awards and most of the coverage is typical of what a starter at any SEC school would receive. He was never even first team all-conference so I don't believe the above comment "as the leading punter in the SEC".

Delete Routine coverage for a college punter and most of the in-depth coverage is from team-centric blogs or local coverage. Also I wouldn't consider being named all-conference a major award, if it were the Ray Guy Award or a consensus All-American it would be a much different story. Best,
