Dusty Mangum

This article is about a minor college football place kicker - not notable enough for an encyclopedia article. Rangerdude 06:20, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep The subject scored the winning field goal in the 2005 Rose Bowl, which has been acclaimed as one of the greatest games in the storied history of that contest. Johntex 06:30, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete This single event may be worth a brief mention on another article about the Rose Bowl or the game, but Mangum himself is not notable enough for a full article of his own. Rangerdude 06:37, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

Comment As the article points out, he also holds the school record for most consecutive PATs (Points After Touchdown) for a storied football program such as UT, that is certainly notable. He holds numerous other records and awards as well. Johntex 06:47, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

    • CommentI echo WP:POINT. Obvious retaliation for Johntex's having listed a Rangerdude article on VfD: Texas Media Watch. · Katefan0 14:42, May 27, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as a big football fan, I am sympathetic to the cause of any bio article on a football player. However, though Mangum was a good kicker, he has little chance of every playing in the NFL and in a few years he will just be a distant memory of another player in the Longhorns' history.--Sophitus 10:25, May 27, 2005 (UTC)

Keep. I'm Canadian and know nothing about American college football. That said, this guy seems more notable than a number of articles we already have. Scimitar 14:40, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep — Set a school record at a major university. Borderline keeper, but he'll probably be the answer to a trivia question some day. :) — RJH 15:27, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
