Notability has not been established and the claims are suspect. The only reference is what appears to be a selection for a training camp rather than any prominent position. Claims of coaching olympic athletes are contradicted by the well referenced articles on those same athletes (see Sushil Kumar and Yogeshwar Dutt). Peter Rehse (talk) 06:19, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * The reference shows that the subject was a coach of the Indian national wrestling team, information that you removed from the article immediately before nominating it for deletion. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:14, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Not quite - I was trying to merge the two sets of equivalent information rather than hide anything. The intent was to make the article more acceptable rather than less and the reference remains.  I read it quite carefully and it appeared to me that they were selecting coaches for a camp rather the national coach.Peter Rehse (talk) 09:20, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, a camp - a national wrestling team camp. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:29, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Fair enough - I modified the article to expand on this. Even so I don't think membership of the coaching staff confers notability but that can of course be debated.Peter Rehse (talk) 11:38, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete The only source is a 1 line mention of him in a list of coaches. The article says he's coached several Olympians, but their articles don't list him as one of their coaches.  In addition, the Olympic wrestlers were freestyle and he's listed as a Greco-Roman coach. Mdtemp (talk) 22:41, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Not enough coverage for notability. BeyondKneesReach (talk) 05:20, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Well I tried - the original author has removed the only reference and interjected his own brand of hyperbole.  At least the dubious coaching claims have been removed.  The subject is clearly non-notable.10:29, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
 * And reverted - thanks and good luck Phil. I did not want to make the effort.Peter Rehse (talk) 10:42, 18 November 2012 (UTC)


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

 * Delete Very little in the way of sources, certainly not enough to support more than a one-sentence description. -- Jprg1966  (talk)  15:35, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
