Delete not notable.--Yankees10 03:22, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. He was principally a backup wide receiver at Arizona State (starting only 6 of 46 games), and he had only 16 catches and 1 touchdown in 46 games played. No evidence has been cited or found to indicate that his college football career would satisfy either WP:NCOLLATH or WP:GNG. While his stabbing death at the Martini Ranch bar did garner some local news coverage, I don't think that coverage is sufficient to justify a stand-alone article. If additional sources are uncovered focusing in a significant way on Thompson and his life, as opposed to simply his death as a victim of a random criminal act, I'm willing to reconsider.

Delete - Non-notable college football player who satisfies the specific notability guidelines of neither WP:NCOLLATH nor WP:GRIDIRON, with insufficient coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources to satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG. The coverage surrounding his unfortunate death is excluded per the one-event rule of WP:BIO1E. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 10:07, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
