Tyrone Prothro

Non-notable college football player; only claim of fame is a medal he won for making a good catch. I'm from Alabama, I'm a football fan, and even I haven't ever heard of him.Drennleberrn 20:31, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

No offense, but you must not be much of a college football fan, especially if you are from the state. This guy was a national story last year and is arguably the University of Alabama's top player - they are still feeling his injury this year which helps explains why their offense is so poor this year (injuries, probation and their coaches). Look, I'm an Auburn fan and could really care less, but even I know who Prothro is. Do a google search on the guy as there is plenty of news about him which would seem to make the article a worthy entry. He was one of the top receivers in the nation before his injuries and when his leg is fully healed (if it heals - sure looked like an ugly break to me), I would think him to be a probable draft pick. Anyway, my vote is that it seems notable and should stay...at least until the end of his rehab. If he doesn't recover, then the article should definitely be removed.otduff 5:52, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
He's obviously getting a lot less famous, though. I've never really liked the Auburn University team, because they've never played really well, and so I don't get what the F is going on with this "great player". Also...definitely get rid of the whole high school thing. Drennleberrn 15:16, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Keep It seems reasonably notable. An ESPY is a basis for notariety.

  • Keep Added three articles about him from New York Times and four from Tennessee and Alabama papers which were carried on a national press wire service. Notability is determined by multiple independent mainstream coverage, not personal like or dislike of a player or team. Edison 19:17, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
