10 Greatest Coaches in NBA history

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article which serves only to replicate another organization's proprietary listicle, referenced only to that listicle itself with no evidence of outside reliable source analysis about the significance of the listicle. As always, we do not simply and uncritically replicate other organizations' own internal "Top 10" lists on Wikipedia, as it poses copyright issues to simply repost other non-CC content here. As always, the notability of a topic is never established by the mere ability to primary source it to itself as verification that it exists -- notability is demonstrated by the ability to reference it to media coverage about it in sources independent of itself as verification of its significance.

 * Delete per nom and WP:TOPTEN. No independent sources to make this list remarkable. Ajf773 (talk) 19:06, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment The content I removed was not a reproduction of the list, but was some descriptive prose that was in the lead. Lists of this type I've dealt with in the past are things like Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, where we list only the top ten. Ranking the list adds an element of creativity that an alphabetical list does not have, no matter what its length. — Diannaa (talk) 19:46, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 50 Greatest Players in NBA History, an anchor pointed to by existing redirect Top 10 Coaches in NBA History. That target is an existing FA that covers these coaches. Per WP:N: This is not a guarantee that a topic will necessarily be handled as a separate, stand-alone page. Editors may use their discretion to merge or group two or more related topics into a single article.—Bagumba (talk) 09:35, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 50 Greatest Players in NBA History, per Bagamba, since the material is already covered there and this is a plausible search term. Rlendog (talk) 13:19, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to 50 Greatest Players in NBA History as a plausible search term. Ejgreen77 (talk) 03:38, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
