Jason Gill

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Only a collegiate head coach, thus fails WP:BASEBALL/N after satisfying none of the other requirements. Also fails to satisfy WP:NCOLLATH. PROD removed as "AFD if you wish" with no additional information added to article. GauchoDude (talk) 23:27, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

 * WP:BASEBALL/N is meaningless here, unless we're ready to say coaches like Augie Garrido, Mike Martin, and Tim Corbin aren't notable because they didn't play in the MLB. The real issue, for me, is whether the article satisfies WP:NCOLLATH.  In my opinion, it doesn't, but it's not far off. Gill played and coached in the College World Series; has coached Team USA; has assisted at multiple major programs; has been a head coach for six seasons in a top-10 conference. Does that satisfy the standard of "gained national media attention as an individual"? In baseball, probably not, especially since only a couple secondary-coverage sources come up for <"Jason Gill" lmu baseball>. That said, were he to make an NCAA Tournament, win the conference, or move to another D1 within the next year or two (distinct possibilities), that'd generate the national media coverage to give him notability. So basically, if I had to say keep or delete at this moment, I'd say delete, because of the lack of an NCAAT appearance or move between D1's. But I'm much more hesitant than GauchoDude.

 * Keep My opinion is that Division I head baseball coaches who have served since 2000 are notable, with national coverage of D-I baseball programs through several outlets beginning around that time. Gill has coverage in several of these, a sampling of which are cited as references in the article.  Billcasey905 (talk) 19:00, 29 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep per Billcasey as an NCAA Division I head coach. Ejgreen77 (talk) 03:23, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. College baseball does not receive the sort of media coverage that basketball and football receive. There is nothing in the guidelines that says a coach is notable because he is division 1... likewise coaching in the college world series by itself doesnt confer notability. There just isn't enough coverage of him in reliable sources to satify GNG. Spanneraol (talk) 12:53, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Simply being a division 1 coach doesn't mean you're automatically notable. NSPORT says to apply the same standards to coaches and players and he's done nothing exceptional to show notability.Mdtemp (talk) 18:47, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep I tend to support college baseball head coaches from D1 and even D2. Alex (talk) 21:19, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete A Division 1 baseball coach is not automatically notable and he doesn't appear to have the significant independent non-routine coverage needed for GNG. Taking a team once to the NCAA tournament is not enough.  Doesn't meet the notability criteria for college athletes/coaches.204.126.132.231 (talk) 16:23, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
