 * The above message can be assumed to have been made in error. But the article is likely to get deleted: as far as I'm aware, we don't generally keep articles about university sports coaches. Of course, if the person is notable enough to have received a decent amount of coverage in sources, then of course the article should stay. – Uanfala (talk) 21:01, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
 * It's not an article,, it's a template. Please pay attention. Exemplo347 (talk) 21:05, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
 * It's an article erroneously created in the template namespace. – Uanfala (talk) 21:16, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
