Dave Howard (baseball coach)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable minor league baseball figure. Nothing in his article would suggest he is notable. Fails WP:BASE/N and WP:GNG. Alex (talk) 16:55, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep afaik, Dave Howard is the Executive Vice President of the New York Mets. He was drafted by the Mets in 79, and appears to be the same person.  Agent Vodello OK, Let's Party, Darling! 19:26, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * To avoid WP:Don't build the Frankenstein, can we get a source that links the minor league and the exec as the same person.—Bagumba (talk) 19:37, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks like you may be right after all. I thought they were connected, but I just wasted 20 minutes trying to further link the two and couldn't find another connection. no vote.  Agent Vodello OK, Let's Party, Darling! 19:46, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Seems to meet WP:GNG with multiple sources of coverage cited inside the article. Source dedicated to him include: . There are also multiple sources of smaller coverage.  This is just what is available for free.  There seems to be quite a bit of subscription only hits on Google making me confident there is enough information out there either paid or offline to further expand this article.—Bagumba (talk) 01:00, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete - WP:GNG, WP:GEOSCOPE concerns. Routine "so-and-so was hired" columns in the local paper do not establish sufficient notability. Tarc (talk) 16:35, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:GNG and WP:BASE/N. Minor league players and coaches are generally not considered notable. The sources are weak and really don't show how this coach is any more notable than the thousands of other coaches that also don't have articles. Trusilver  17:29, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
