Thanks for submitting this to GA. Unfortunately, I'll be quickfailing this on the breadth criterion – a short collection of statistics is not enough for GA. Please expand the article with content that isn't just how many yards he ran in a specific game and where he was signed. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 03:09, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article was quickfailed earlier today with the rationale that this was just a short collection of statistics. It was renominated with the rationale "This guy is a special teams player and got minimal press coverage" after making a series of superficial edits, including adding who the subject's best friend was. In between the failing and the renomination, the nominator was informed about his access to WP:TWL, but has seemingly chosen to immediately forget about it. This is a shame, as there are numerous sources available there which provide in-depth, significant coverage of the subject. I provide a selection of titles below:

Snyder, Mark; Fri 31 August 2012, page B11. "Senior LB Demens draws attention for many reasons"
Snyder, Mark; Fri 19 October 2012, page B6. "U-M linebacker Demens back to making plays, leading"
Snyder, Mark; Sat 16 February 2013, Page B3. "Pumped for the NFL Draft"
Birkett, Dave; Thu 18 April 2013, Page C4. "U-M's Demens: A shot at the NFL"
Facher, Lev; Sun 8 May 2016, Page C2. "Former LB Demnens honors moms at event"

The nominator's assertion that the subject "got minimal press coverage" is clearly false. Thus, the issues remaining from a previous GA review have not been addressed. The nominator will find, should they choose to read the relevant page, that issues remaining from a prior GA review is a WP:QUICKFAIL criterion. I am thus quickfailing this nomination, and requesting the nominator to do their damn job before nominating it a third time. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 21:35, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- Why? You can just access it TonyTheTiger. Personally, I would make an effort to access sources before renominating a shoddy article, but I guess your "one pair of hands" have better things to do than show respect for your fellow editors. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 22:01, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  User:AirshipJungleman29, I read about information neeeding to be submitted or something and did not see how to.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:06, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  You see the phrase "The Wikipedia Library is an open research hub"? Click on the link at "The Wikipedia Library". If only you were this cautious about pushing work onto the people you're supposed to be working with. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 22:09, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  User:AirshipJungleman29, There are several screens worth of repositories. Any recommendations?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:19, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  BeanieFan11 recommended Newspapers.com, so I would recommend starting there, as it's where the above sources came from. Other than that, it's your responsibility to find sources, not the reviewer. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 22:23, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  What is the data access section all about. That is where I went to at first?-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:25, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  
  Also, why does it say "Try 7 days free"-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:29, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
