• Delete Seems to only gain coverage in relation to his brother, and notability is not inherited. Hog Farm (talk) 01:52, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

• Delete my before search only brought up coverage of his family member - it's possible there was some of him in there but nothing at all jumps out. WP:NOTINHERITED and if he becomes notable and is just WP:TOOSOON no prejudice on recreation. SportingFlyer T·C 11:19, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
• Keep Although WP:NOTINHERITED is an integral part of this encyclopedia subject of article clearly passes general notability guidelines as he has been covered in reliable media which discusses him solely apart from his brother. Celestina007 (talk) 22:48, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
• userfy subject hasn't met notability yet, which is not uncommon for backup QBs even at Div I. I believe it is only a matter of time--which of course, means notability has not been met yet and the article should be deleted... but then when he does pass the notability threshold (almost a guarantee) we re-create the article... so let's just userfy for now. I'm confident there's an enthusiastic editor that can store the article in their user pages until that day comes. I think that's the best solution.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:14, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

:::If no one else will, sure... but I'm not all that enthusiastic about it. I'd go with whoever was enthusiastic enough to create the article in the first place.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:40, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

• Redirect to Tua Tagovailoa#Personal Life, since he is discussed there and that would preserve the history for use if and when he meets our notability guidelines. Rlendog (talk) 20:16, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

:*I'm happy with a redirect. SportingFlyer T·C 12:23, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

• Draftify / Userfy (prefer Draft: namespace) or Delete (1) per {{u|Paulmcdonald}} above. I'm seeing lots of coverage, in BleacherReport, CBS Sports, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and local TV affiliates (all reliable sources even if not explicitly named at WP:RSP), but can't assess the degree of WP:SIGCOV. I'd say WP:GNG is likely met, the SNG seems likely to have been met, but would prefer to see this go through AfC. And, at the end of the day, if it gets abandoned, we can speedy delete (from 6 months from the last edit. I don't get the redirect idea, though—seem like two people. (2) if WP:GNG is not likely met per {{u|SportingFlyer}} below (not sure I agree but he may have looked into the depth of WP:RS coverage than I have), I feel a redirect would be confusing to the reader in this case due to the similar names; they may wonder if this is the longer name or a pseudonym for his brother. Doug Mehus T·C 23:15, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

:*{{re|Dmehus}} If the article gets moved to AfC, I would have to accept it if it were to pass an AfD - I've never seen an AfD article "sent to AfC" but rather would suggest draftify "sit in draft space until X event happens." He's not likely to become notable in the next six months in my estimation - unless he becomes the starter. He only gets coverage because of his brother, so if we redirect to his brother, people will not only find what they're looking for when they search for him, but all we have to do is restore the old version if/when he becomes notable. SportingFlyer T·C 10:27, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

:*:{{u|SportingFlyer}}, True, but I think a redirect would be more confusing in this case because the names are similar looking, it would lead to reader confusion. I'll say "delete" as my second choice. Doug Mehus T·C 13:02, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

• Redirect per Rlendog. Notability is not inherited, but the subject is only a freshman and may become more notable in the future. Redirects are cheap and will enable us to preserve the page history for later. Lepricavark (talk) 05:57, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
