Support MGoBlog: buy stuff at Amazon
If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article.I would say a number of current Michigan players fit these requirements. Unfortunately, my article-creation skills are...well, amateur at best. I need your help.

A picture of the grim reaper is the first thing that crossed my mind. Nick Sheridan does not deserve a wiki page at this point in time, but perhaps one day when he becomes the 'coach' that so many think he will.
...have too much time on your hands. (Even by "I spend 2 hours a day on Mgoblog" standards.)
Honestly, why bother? Pretty much the only people who are going to want to visit these pages are Michigan fans who already know about them.
I've been tossing this idea around: I think Michigan needs its own hosted wiki, like an MGoWiki. How can we make this happen?
Abraham Lincoln wasn't 13 of 20 for 179 yards and three touchdowns vs. Western Michigan.
Wikipedia has separate guidelines for notability decided by particular Wiki projects. The guidelines for college football are listed here:

I'd argue that, barring a change to current consensus, the best thing to do would be to only create articles for players that you can prove have won major awards... like Zoltan.
Those guidelines are meant mostly for former/historic players - there's no consensus on how to deal with current or recent players.
This is a job for the SID
What in the heck would our players need a Wikipedia page for when there's already facebook, recruiting sites, MGoBlue.com and MGoBlog?
And I think that Sheridan will become RR's protege and eventually coach UM. Then, he will have earned a page.
