462:. There appears to be more than enough coverage in independent, reliable sources to establish John Graves' notability. That having been said, I must caution my fellow editors with regard to some of the sources offered: (1) trivial mentions don't count—just because the subject's name is briefly mentioned in a major publication is meaningless; (2) routine game and transactions coverage doesn't count for notability purposes; (3) recruiting websites don't count for much; (4) university and sports program websites and school newspapers are not considered independent sources, and don't count for purposes of establishing notability; and (5) amateur sports blogs are not considered reliable sources, and therefore don't count, either. In the absence of major national honors and/or stand-alone independent source articles about the subject, critical review of the sources offered to establish notability should be undertaken.
