Delete the coverage is either routine for an inury, and I do not think we want to say everyone who has a season ending injury in college football is notable, or mainly from the school he is playing for. We have consistently decided that not every player of college football in NCAA Divsion 1 is notable, and that is essetially where we would have to draw the line to justify having an article on Johnson.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:22, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Ranked #6 among SEC receivers in 2020 and still has 2021 season left to go. See here. No time to do an in-depth analysis, but I am finding some SIGCOV, including here, here, here, here, and here. Cbl62 (talk) 21:45, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Note to closer If deleted, please create a redirect as a misspelling of Cameron Johnson.—Bagumba (talk) 03:47, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The sources provided by Cbl62 go a long way to establish notability. I was also able to find [1] [2] [3]. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 20:25, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Local coverage only, mostly The Tennessean newspaper, which is based in Nashville, as is Vanderbilt University. The only exception is a Bleacher Report announcement, so not in-depth. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:18, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Local coverage counts in any case, but the first item from USA Today is national coverage, as is Bleacher Report. And The Tennessean is a major metropolitan daily and a regional paper serving much of Tennessee and southern Kentucky. Cbl62 (talk) 03:26, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: SIGCOV or not?

That USA Today article is a fluff piece written by Johnson himself as to why he chose Vanderbilt (along with the rest of "The Tennessean’s Dandy Dozen"): not much nourishment/verifiabily there. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:24, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep, seems to have just enough SIGCOV to meet GNG, in my opinion. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:41, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep coverage sourced in article and others found by Cbl show a pass of WP:GNG. The USA Today article is confusing because it is written by the subject--is that a letter to the editor? Or did USA Today ask a number of college athletes to submit bios? No matter, I see a pass on the other material.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:58, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. He is anything but routine having been named the 2018 Tennessee athlete of the year, after leading his teams to 11 state championships and starring in football, basketball, and track. See here. His collegiate career is ongoing, and as a junior in 2020 he ranked as the No. 6 receiver in the best football conference (SEC) with his senior year still ahead of him. He is also featured on the cover of the 2021 preseason issue of SEC magazine. See here. The USA Today piece is self authored but still significant given its inclusion in a national publication. The totality of the SIGCOV pushes him over the GNG bar ... and with reasonable expectation that the coverage will grow during the 2021 season. (NOTE: He is also referred to in the last couple years as "Cam Johnson" with additional SIGCOV found under that spelling variation. E.g., here, here, here) Cbl62 (talk) 16:18, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
