Billy Brewer
Is this article relevant? Nothing links here bar two articles which mention a completely different 'Billy Brewer'; the Burton Albion F.C. mascot. Coaches of university and college sides are hardly worthy of articles. delete Grunners 14:48, 8 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Comment. Depends which Universities you are talking about. College football and basketball in the US are significant sports which receive considerable media coverage. However, the Billy Brewer that gets the most Google hits is a baseball player see Perhaps should be a disambiguation page providing the biographical data on this Billy Brewer is verifiable.

 * I second Roadster's suggestion as there are a handful of Billy Brewers having frequent Google hits. This Billy Brewer might be notable as a head coach for the University of Mississippi, but his notability relies upon the accomplishments of his teams (his stint as head coach of Louisiana Tech will not help in this issue).  The Billy Brewer baseball player certainly is more notable, and Major League Baseball players' biographies can usually be found on the official sites of their most recent team.

 * Keep and disambig - there is also this Billy Brewer, for instance. --Idont Havaname 21:04, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep If you would like me to add information on Billy Brewer, I'll be more than glad to. He was the head football coach for a decade in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), the most prominent football conference in college football.  He was SEC Coach of the Year twice, and defeated teams with coaches such as Steve Spurrier, who have Wikipedia entries. --Wahoo Pundit 5:30, 13 December 2005 (EST)
