ChicSham (talk) 17:03, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

@ChicSham: I think this has potential. Some people might challenge the notability of your topic with respect to the quality of the sources, but I think you can find stronger ones. For example, I found one from the Washington Post. @AmandaRR123: might be able to help you here. Note that in looking for similar Wikipedia articles, you repeat Steward twice and everipedia is not Wikipedia. That said, there is lot of precedent in BC Lions#Current_roster. -Reagle (talk) 13:12, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

@Reagle:, thank you for your feedback! I am planning to incorporate the source you shared from the Washington post as I am working on my current draft. Additionally, there is an in-depth interview with him at http://www.espn.com/blog/acc/post/_/id/68964/luther-maddy-to-vt-fans-dont-be-worried-about-the-d. I think these in addition to the ESPN story above and his draft profile could help create a solid article. Here are some additional related Wikipedia sources I'm using as models. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Tech_Hokies; 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Virginia_Tech_Hokies_football_team; 3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bud_Foster --ChicSham (talk) 03:07, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

@ChicSham: good, the WashintonPost and ESPN are good sources. -Reagle (talk) 11:01, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
