Former American football player and MMA fighter who doesn't meet WP:GNG, WP:NGRIDIRON or WP:NMMA. There are mentions of his name as a college football player, but I found only routine sports coverage. He never appeared in a regular-season NFL game.

  • Comment College football players can qualify under WP:GNG if they have been the subject of significant, non-trivial coverage in multiple, reliable, and independent sources. I found this feature on Brytus and this story from the The Beaver County Times. There's also this from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette regarding Brytus' high school career. Items like this probably don't help because it's from the Pitt student newspaper and is arguably lacking in independence. I would prefer to see a bit more before I opine whether he passes GNG. Will try to take a deeper look later. Cbl62 ( talk) 01:03, 24 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Comment He appears to be a bodyguard for a notable person currently ( Austin Malone). I suspect that he is on the cusp in all likelihood but definitely not an instant Prod to be sure. Collect ( talk) 02:14, 24 December 2015 (UTC) reply
    • I apologize for the PROD. I haven't ever thought of PROD as an instant process, but I can understand the need for careful consideration and discussion. It's sometimes difficult for people to distinguish between significant coverage and the routine coverage that can be uncovered for almost any D1 college starter. With that said, if it's being argued that social media/blog/non-RS mentions of bodyguard work could lead to notability, I'm having a hard time getting behind that.

  • Delete I'm not convinced that we've established anything beyond routine coverage. They've never won or competed for a title falling short of WP:ATHLETE and WP:NMMA. Mkdw talk 00:19, 28 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Fails WP:GNG with a lack of significant coverage. Also fails WP:NGRIDIRON, WP:NSPORTS, and WP:NMMA. Notability can't be inherited from who he is guarding. Jakejr ( talk) 21:22, 28 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per EricEnfermero clearly fails WP:GNG and WP:NGRIDIRON. Pharaoh of the Wizards ( talk) 22:30, 30 December 2015 (UTC) reply
