Although he passed recently, it is not notable enough to necessitate an article. EPIC STYLE ^{(LET'S TALK)} 06:27, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment as creator. Jordan was a star athlete in the Pac-12 scene. Odds are quite high someone would have made an article about him soon even if he hadn't passed. If you look at Template:Pac-12 Player of the Year, every other person on that Offensive Player of the Year line has an article.--Mike Selinker (talk) 06:30, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep He is as notable as some others I have seen that have articles here on Wikipedia that have shown up as recently departed, and in many cases I have seen the red link for them and soon after the blue link indicating the article was made after death. So I have seen this a lot, I look at who passes away every day for the last year or so, even longer actually. So I see its common for articles to be made about someone after they die. And it is true and I agree an article would have been made anyway. Anyone getting a reward like Freshman of the Year in a major football conference like the Pac-12 would automatically make them a prospect pretty high up on the NFL's list is he were to maintain his talents. So this guy is as deserving as some of the other stuff I have seen that was not up for deletion.RobotWillie (talk) 07:30, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Death doesn't make a person notable for an article. Winning a major sports award such as Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Year does. Article meets

• Keep Agree with above. Winning Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Year in itself should meet
