The result was keep. Nomination withdrawn. Eagles 24/7 turned up some additional results I did not find. No sense in keeping this open further. (non-admin closure) Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 06:22, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Fails WP:GRIDIRON (was on a roster, but never appeared in a regular season game) and in my opinion, WP:COLLATH. What coverage does exist on him is from the paper from the town where he played college football, and national media coverage is the requisite for COLLATH. DePRODed with claims about his statistics and selection to all-conference teams, but neither satisfies COLLATH. Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 04:39, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

• Keep This player left school second in BYU history in career sacks and set the school single-season sack record (Mekeli Ieremia records were not official in 1976, as sacks were not yet recognized). He was an All-WAC and honorable-mention All-American selection. He also was in an NFL roster in 1986.Tecmo (talk) 04:08, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

As I said above, simply being on an NFL roster is not enough to satisfy WP:NGRIDIRON. He had to have played in at least one regular season game, which he did not (he doesn't even have a Pro Football Reference page). Further, all-conference selections do not satisfy the notability guidelines at WP:COLLATH. I will also note for other participants that the above user is the creator of the article in question.

• Keep (despite being the user who added the {{notability}} tag in the first place) - appears to pass WP:GNG based on the sources I've added to the article, including "BYU's Herrmann Pumps Iron, Helps Cougar Defense Grow" and "Herrmann Awaits Meeting With Panthers, Fralic" from The Salt Lake Tribune and "Jim Herrmann Likes Passers As Long As They're Sacked" from The Daily Herald. I recognize that these are newspapers from Utah, the state in which Herrmann played college football, but GNG does not specify that sources need to be from national publications.
