The result was keep. The "keep" !voters win this one. There is a consensus that the subject meets WP:GNG. Draft or no draft, significant coverage is significant coverage. Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:21, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

  • Keep - He passes WP:GNG as demonstrated by the significant coverage he has received in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, including:

The published feature stories (non-routine coverage) about this player pushes this article over the GNG threshold required for a stand-alone article. Dolovis (talk) 01:18, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

:* If there wasn't a draft going on, there would not have been an article on this guy. The list above shows that. ʘ alaney2k ʘ (talk) 18:53, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

::*Many of these articles are from before the draft. Others are due to the fact that multiple reliable sources concluded that his being drafted was worthy of multiple full length articles. They provide significant coverage from multiple reliable sources. That there was a draft going on has nothing to do with GNG. Rlendog (talk) 20:38, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

  • Keep per Dolovis cmt- plenty of sources, plus he was one of the potential first rounders who slipped into the top second round and taken as the top prospect by Detroit who had no 1st round picks. Bhockey10 (talk) 22:28, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

:* Just routine coverage. ʘ alaney2k ʘ (talk) 18:53, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

::*Most of these articles are full length articles specifically about Jurco. Nothing routine about that. A couple of the articles listed by Dolovis may not be reliable sources, but the others and the ones in the article are. Rlendog (talk) 20:38, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
