An undrafted free agent this year, Harris played at an extremely low level college and fails WP:ATH while a search doesn't show anything that makes the subject notable through WP:GNG. Giants 27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 01:51, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ changed to Keep this one is close for me, because he's got the national record--but it doesn't look like it's that much of a record--most passsing yards in a playoff game in division II. Okay, I couldn't do it... certainly a suitable entry for a sports encyclopedia. Try another wiki.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:05, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment research below bears review. I'll change my position.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:45, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Based on extensive non-trivial coverage of Harris in the mainstream media, including Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, and other papers, Harris meets general notability standards. This is not a situation where a small school player simply gets occasional press in the local paper. I don't think I've ever seen so many feature articles about a Division II player. He won multiple awards as a top Division II player and has signed with an NFL team. As one article put it, Harris "is a Harlon Hill Trophy [given to the individual selected as the most valuable player in NCAA Division II] winner ... owned every career passing record in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference." Examples of articles focusing on Harris (and they are just that) include: (1) Harris-led Edinboro lives by the pass, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Oct. 10, 2007, (2) Harris leads Edinboro past East Stroudsburg, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Nov. 15, 2009, (3) Name calling, Weeks of preparation could pay off for EUP’s Harris with a Saturday selection, The Meadville Tribune, April 20, 2010, (4) Brother to brother: EUP QB’s last home game may not be last for a Harris, McClatchy-Tribune Regional News (link is to article as it appeared in The Meadville Tribune), Oct. 28, 2009, (5) Harris headed to Jaguars, The Meadville Tribune, Apr. 25, 2010, (6) Edinboro QB Harris signs with Jaguars, McClatchy-Tribune Regional News, April 25, 2010, (7) Edinboro QB Harris named All-American, Erie Times-News, Feb. 29, 2010, (8) With NFL hopes, Edinboro's Harris prepares for Cactus Bowl: 'Boro QB in all-star game Friday, invited to Ohio St. pro day, McClatchy-Tribune Regional News, January 7, 2010, (9) The Harris Show, Erie Times-News, August 30, 2009, (10) 'Boro's best bet: Highly skilled QB Harris gives Scots reason to think conference crown, Erie Times-News, Aug. 29, 2009, (11) 'Boro's Harris earns PSAC West honor, Erie Times News, Aug. 31, 2009, (12) Harris' 5-TD day helps 'Boro roll over Slippery Rock, Erie Times News, Oct. 19, 2008, (13) 'Boro's Harris has record-setting day, Erie Times News, Nov. 5, 2006, (14) 'Boro builds around young QB Harris, Erie Times News, September 13, 2006, (15) PSAC honors 'Boro's Harris again, Erie Times-News, September 28, 2009, (16) 'Sky's the limit' for Harris, 'Boro, Erie Times-News, April 6, 2009, (17) Sophomore QB steps up for Edinboro, Erie Times-News, August 23, 2007, (18) Harris climbs Edinboro charts, Erie Times-News, Nov. 4, 2007, (19) Desire vs. danger: Harris' style built for wins but puts injuries into play, Erie Times-News, Oct. 30, 2008, (20) Harris gets bad news, Erie Times-News, Nov. 4, 2009, (21) Harris faces biggest test of young life, Erie Times-News, Aug. 12, 2009, (22) Harris' 3-TD game leads 'Boro over IUP, Erie Times-News, Oct. 11, 2009, (23) Edinboro QB named PSAC West player of year, Erie Times-News, Nov. 14, 2007, (24) QB Harris adds to Edinboro record book, Erie Times-News, Nov. 12, 2006, (25) Harris 1 of 8 considered for D-II trophy, Erie Times-News, Nov. 18, 2008, (26) Harris, Bzorek claim All-America honors, Jan 31, 2009, (27) Edinboro QB Harris named region player of year, Dec. 2, 2008, (28) Harris makes history in loss, Nov. 23, 2009, (29) Harris looking forward to NFL future, Apr. 23, 2010, (30) Harris takes over all-time honors at Terwilliger’s old house, Nov. 14, 2009.

Withdrawn The article has been greatly improved thanks to Cbl and his hard work here, maybe I should've checked NewsBank as well. Cheers,--Giants 27(Contribs|WP:CFL) 18:43, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
