Subject does not meet WP:GNG nor WP:ATHLETE policies. All references in regards to the subject fall under WP:ROUTINE coverage for sports. The article written could be about any football player at any major FBS school. Subject has not been successful in a major competition nor won a significant honor. Moreover being related to other notable people (WP:BIORELATED) does not imply notability Barkeep^Chat 21:38, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, and probably speedily. First off, there are 25+ reliable sources used as refs and many of them are WP:SIGCOV so WP:GNG is clearly met. This is not "routine" coverage that "any football player at any major FBS school" could garner. There are several sources that go in depth in regards to McCaffrey as "the future" of Nebraska football and both his recruitment and transfer received national coverage. Finally, WP:BIORELATED doesn't apply because these are not passing mentions and there is no assumption that the subject is notable simply because he has famous relatives (ie the notability is conferred). McCaffrey is the focus of most of the articles in relation to his family, and not mentioned in passing. If the sources were solely along the lines of this one entitled "Christian McCaffrey Calls Out Nebraska HC Scott Frost After Brother Luke's Transfer", then BIORELATED or WP:NOTINHERITED would be applicable but this is not the case.

Speedy keep I have no idea what this AFD is. Clearly enough sources here for an article.-- Yankees10 22:14, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Meets WP:GNG and WP:BASIC, per the coverage already in the article. Ejgreen77 (talk) 22:57, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A very clear pass of WP:GNG. Failing WP:ATHLETE is irrelevant and ROUTINE is the notability guideline for... events. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:21, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The comparable guideline for persons is WP:NBASIC, which McCaffery clearly passes as well.Frank Anchor 14:13, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Clearly passes WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:16, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
