Per request from @192.76.8.66:
This article came to my attention when I noticed a TFD nomination for it's associated navbox. Having looked at the article and done a WP:BEFORE search I am really struggling to see how this award is actually notable. The article as it stands contains a single source from The Sports Network, this is not independent coverage because the award was created and awarded by The Sports Network's CEO.Doing a few further searches turns up a bunch of republished press releases from The Sports Network, e.g. [1], [2], [3] and some posts by the college the winner attended [4]. I can't see any evidence of third party coverage existing to satisfy WP:N. -Lemonaka 01:06, 11 August 2023 (UTC)- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Awards and Sports. -Lemonaka 01:06, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
Comment The URL in the article says FCS, and using that to search, I came up with https://www.espn.com/espn/wire?section=ncf&id=25667940 Graywalls (talk) 01:49, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
