As far as I can tell this individual fails WP:ATHLETE Shadowjams (talk) 06:14, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep. I feel like this passes WP:GNG because Allums has received widespread media coverage in spite of failing WP:ATHLETE. However, I'm willing to be persuaded that I'm falling into the WP:RECENT trap; although I think the first openly transgender NCAA player will be important well into the future, I'm certainly no scholar in the area, so if someone disagrees, I'd be open to changing my opinion.

Keep. His notability doesn't stem from his athletic accomplishments (so WP: ATHLETE doesn't apply); rather, it stems from him being the first openly transgender person in his field. The article should be expanded, though. Stonemason89 (talk) 15:16, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
