Non-notable amateur athlete, does not meet WP:ATHLETE, insufficient coverage in reliable sources. Esprqii (talk) 18:07, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - league is semi-pro at best (they are associated with a semi-pro and an amateur league and both of those may not even be notable associations), and there is really nothing in the way of sources after a search. As for the sources currently in the article, the GT is so trivial of coverage, the Oregonian ones I could not even find on that paper's website (the non-footnoted one to OregonLive does not mention Lyon at all), and the ones to his league are obviously not independent. Utterly non-notable under WP:BIO or WP:NOTE. Aboutmovies (talk) 20:06, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Completely un-notable per above. Looks as if someone knows him and wants him on Wikipedia. A ML-Talk-Cont-Count
- Delete per the above. Pretty clear case- if Lyon becomes notable in the future, great. Not notable now, though. tedder (talk) 20:51, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - doesn't come close to meeting any of Wikipedia's notability criteria. We don't have articles for everyone who's name has ever appeared in the newspaper. BRMo (talk) 15:56, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
