@Joeykai: Did you check on-line sources to see whether he passes WP:GNG? Cbl62 (talk) 14:18, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A quick review of on-line sources reveals dozens of articles constituting significant coverage of Shortell in multiple, reliable sources, sufficient to pass WP:GNG. The coverage goes well beyond WP:ROUTINE such as passing references in game coverage. A few examples of the significant coverage include: (1) "Crossing the line Max Shortell is a Pop Warner linebacker-turned-quarterback who brings the smarts of both positions to the Gophers' huddle at QB, Star Tribune, Sept. 22, 2012, (2) "Shortell Takes Reins at Minnesota", Associated Press, Sept. 21, 2012, (3) "Freshman Max Shortell is making his presence felt as a possible No. 2 quarterback", St. Paul Pioneer Press, August 10, 2011; (4) "Plenty of eyes will be on Max Shortell on Saturday", St. Paul Pioneer Press, September 28, 2011, (5) "Gophers football: Max Shortell once had eyes for Iowa", St. Paul Pioneer Press, September 24, 2012, (6) "Minnesota transfer Max Shortell among 4 in mix for Jacksonville State starting QB position", August 1, 2013, (7) "Former Minnesota quarterback Max Shortell says he's coming to Jacksonville State", The Birmingham News, May 9, 2013, (8) "Former Gophers QB Max Shortell transfers to Jacksonville State" Star Tribune, May 9, 2013, (9) "Shortell lifts squad to 3-0 after Gray's injury", Minnesota Daily, Oct. 4, 2014, (10) "JSU's Shortell makes best of his playing time", The Anniston Star, Sept. 2, 2014, (11) "Shortell shines again against UTM", The Anniston Star, Oct. 4, 2014, (12) "Shortell shines again against UTM", The Anniston Star, Nov. 4, 2013, (13) "QB Shortell will transfer from U Writing was on the wall, his father says", St. Paul Pioneer Press, Dec. 5, 2012, (14) "Shortell struggles as a starter", St. Paul Pioneer Press, Sept. 30, 2012, (15) "Poise of a playful Shortell comes through in huddle", and (16) "'Red Rocket' relaunch didn't lack preparation Shortell prepped to be a starter with offseason training", St. Paul Pioneer Press, Sept. 22, 2012.

Keep clearly passes WP:GNG. Most Division I FBS starting quarterbacks generate enough press to surpass the general notability guideline, and this case is no exception.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:11, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
