Stumbled across this one - I don't have the knowledge to be absolutely sure, but it's been marked as possibly not notable since 2010. I can find coverage but it's always linked to the Dallas Cowboys, so I wonder if any relevant info about Jones should be included in that article. Tacyarg (talk) 22:24, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article is in really bad shape, but a quick search does turn up some significant coverage that could be used to improve the article: (1) Jones following his family's footsteps into Hall, Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 3/22/19; (2) Jerry Jones Jr., 3/3/08, Street & Smith's Sports Business Journal; (3) 5 things you might not know about Jerry Jones Jr., including how his dad saved Super Bowl 19 for him, The Dallas Morning News, 6/11/18.

Keep I'm finding sources all over the place supporting passage of WP:GNG. Certainly the article content needs to be brought up to that same level, but the subject matter itself clearly passes notability threshold. Although the article is stubby, that is fixable. Let's not confuse stub status with non-notability. In my view, this is a case where editing is the answer, not deletion.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:32, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
delete the sportsbusinessdaily borders celebrity gossip. Don't know if the junior's notability would be considered significant and in-depth coverage about him. Graywalls (talk) 02:01, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I haven't had the time to review the sources and do a full-blown WP:GNG analysis on this, but I can already tell you that absolutely no one should be voting "delete" on this. At the very least, this is definitely worth a redirect to Jerry Jones#Personal_life where the subject of this article is mentioned. Anyone voting "delete" here has failed to consider alternatives to deletion. Ejgreen77 (talk) 11:42, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Really not convinced he deserves an article, though Paul McDonald if you want to clean it up maybe something can be made of it. But as of now it seems a merge to his father's page is the best outcome. There are some sources online but not a lot substantial. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 02:33, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the additional sources Cbl found and his induction into the 2019 Arkansas Sports Hall of fame, which resulted in some additional coverage that gets this over GNG. Nole (chat·edits) 02:14, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep there's sufficient media coverage, but the article really needs to be beefed up. In addition to the ones above, there's [[1]] [[2]] [[3]] and [[4]]. With the last one, the fact that a car accident where he was just a passenger made international news suggests that he easily passes the notability threshold.

Keep I wanted to say WP:NOTINHERITED however I have found that the subject meets WP:GNG. Wm335td (talk) 19:40, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Plenty of sources available. AFD is not cleanup. Smartyllama (talk) 20:11, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
