Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on August 10, 2009.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that quarterback Jarrett Brown replaced injured starter Pat White and led West Virginia to defeat Rutgers in 2008, having done the same thing in the 2006 game after three overtime periods?
Current status: Good article

Notability

[edit]

The subject has achieved notability through the general notability guidelines since the article went through AFD. Here's some significant media coverage of Brown:

Hmmm, the article as it is currently written doesn't establish notability. He was a one-year starter that did not make it in the NFL. His 2009 season was so notable is didn't even warrant a paragraph. NCAA athletes are going to get mentions in newspapers, but I don't think any of the refs lists are anything out of the ordinary. — X96lee15 (talk) 22:20, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Why do you assume his season as starter "didn't warrant a paragraph"? No one has written it yet. If you feel strongly about it, you can always send it to AFD. But other similar articles have been kept with about a quarter of the above coverage. A starting BCS quarterback is going to meet notability standards probably about 99% of the time. (And the media coverage was posted above before the 2009 season when he became the full-time starter.) Strikehold (talk) 23:27, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this article meets the Good Article Criteria after my copyedit and will pass this Good Article Nomination. I do have one suggestion below that would improve the article further:

  • You mention that Rivals rated him as a three-star quarterback. How did Scout rate him? There's a template {{College Athlete Recruit Start}} that I've seen on several college football player articles that summarizes the star rating—you might want to consider using it.

Thank you and congratulations! Grondemar 02:39, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
