Non-notable college athlete, some minor coverage in newspapers but it's all local to where he played along with some prep coverage, fails WP:GRIDIRON, WP:NCOLLATH. SportingFlyer T· C 18:40, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

- Keep. He was on track to stardom during his early career (see stats here) but multiple injuries cut short his career.The short career makes it a closer call but I'm still finding enough SIGCOV to push him over the GNG bar. There's a ton of SIGCOV in the Fort Collins newspaper. E.g. part 1/ part 2, part 1/ part 2, and this. Also finding some SIGCOV from outside Fort Collins. E.g., this, this, and this.

- He did nothing of note. WP:NCOLLATH requires national coverage to guarantee notability. The Loveland newspaper is the one down the road from Fort Collins. The Denver story is routine and transactional. I'm not sure about Orlando, but he's from Kissimmee. This is exceptionally WP:ROUTINE. SportingFlyer T· C 23:40, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
- NCOLLATH is an inclusionary standard, not an exclusionary one. No one argues that he passes NCOLLATH. The issue is GNG, and he clearly passes that standard with SIGCOV in multiple (at least four), reliable, and independent sources. There are multiple articles on Momo in the Denver press -- here's another. Cbl62 ( talk) 00:06, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Here is yet another feature story on Momo that is not from Fort Collins or Colorado. Maybe you would consider just withdrawing this one?

- I also disagree strongly with your reliance on WP:ROUTINE. The sources presented include features stories focused exclusively on Momo. Such coverage is the antithesis of WP:ROUTINE. Cbl62 ( talk) 00:20, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
