  WP:GNG. Campbell shared the backfield with Bo Jackson, was MVP of Auburn's 1982 Tangerine Bowl victory against Doug Flutie's team (see here), and led the 1983 Auburn Tigers football team to a victory over Michigan in the 1984 Sugar Bowl and a national championshp per some selectors. Top tier starting QBs always get tons of coverage, and Campbell is no exception. See, e.g., here, here, here, here. Cbl62 (talk) 00:07, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply

  I do agree with the comment below about the article needing work. The section on his notable college career is in need of expansion and improvement, and the section on his later "entrepeneurship and philanthropy" is full of unsourced content in violation of

  WP:BLP that needs to be trimmed. Cbl62 (talk) 00:23, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply

I went ahead and trimmed unsourced content from the "entrepeneurship" section. Cbl62 (talk) 00:37, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• @CycloneYoris: While it wasn't obvious from the article at the time of your nomination, the sources presented above pretty clearly establish notability. If you would consider withdrawing, we can move on to other topics and end the snowstorm. Cbl62 (talk) 16:04, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
