WP:BLP that doesn't assert notability under any points of WP:BIO, sourced almost exclusively by blogs and self-published bios. The one newspaper article is about the coaching school he started, which is a) a dead link, and b) does not establish notability. --SquidSK (1MC•log) 17:53, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. No 'substantial' coverage by independent sources; nowhere near notable. --Mkativerata (talk) 19:15, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article in the Selby Times appears to be substantial coverage, and the link works fine for me. – Eastmain (talk) 01:33, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. With respect, I don't think a puff piece in the local rag of a town of 13,000 people counts as substantial coverage. --Mkativerata (talk) 02:34, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable as per Mkativerata. College student who (just this year) started a local football coaching club with his dad. --MelanieN (talk) 16:31, 8 December 2009 (UTC)MelanieN

 * Delete per nom. No evidence of notability: one article in local newspaper is not remotely enough NBeale (talk) 23:41, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
