Failing WP:NGRIDIRON is not exclusive (WP:ABELINCOLN fails WP:NGRIDIRON). It's possible that a subject could pass another measure of notability, such as WP:GNG General Notability Guideline. At first glance, it seems that this may be the case with this individual and notability may arise from college play. I'm finding a lot of articles, but they need to be sorted through and I don't have time right at the moment to complete the full research required. But I am finding some online sources, so it's worth the research.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:05, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Subject may or may not satisfy GNG with significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources, but he did get a couple of decent write-ups in UCF's hometown newspaper, the Orlando Sentinel: (1) "Once an undersized basketball player, Justin Tukes is now growing into his job as starting tight end" and (2) "UCF football's Justin Tukes, Kevin Miller promise a powerful 1-2 punch." That counts as a single source because the articles appeared in the same newspaper. Everything else I have found in independent sources so far is brief and "transactional" in character, and related to his NFL free agent ~~singing~~ signing in 2015.

Delete. Not finding significant coverage in multiple, reliable sources. If significant coverage is found in additional sources, I'm willing to reconsider, but deletion of this one-sentence, uninformative snippet will not diminish Wikipedia in the least.

Delete Fails WP:GNG with lack of significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources. For those who follow football, he's a blocking tight end[1][2], which makes it even less likely there's much coverage linking somewhere.—Bagumba (talk) 07:25, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Well, if the Wizard of Newspapers.com, Mr. Cbl62, can't find significant coverage in another two independent, reliable sources, then I'm afraid Mr. Tukes will have to live without a Wikipedia biography until he gets a better publicist.
