Matt Painter
Contested prod. Apparent fan article about a college basketball coach. Notability is rather dubious.  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  10:01, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep He is a notable coach. There are many other less notable coaches with pages, including his assistants! It seems all head coaches in every major US sport have pages. Why should this be any different? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.189.229.226 (talk) 11:24, 18 April 2007 (UTC).
 * Keep He's been a coach at a Division I NCAA school for a number of years. That's notable enough for me. YechielMan 16:55, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as per above. Davewild 17:18, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. Bad faith afd.  Mystache 22:44, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep not a bad faith afd; notable by WP's low threshold, that's all. Carlossuarez46 01:47, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Division 1 head coach, lead Southern Illinois University to the NCAA tournament in 2004 and reached a ranking as high as 15th in the nation that year. Lead Purdue University to the NCAA tournament in 2007. Further bios scattered around the net on various websites, google news chimes in with more than 300 news articles related to him, and on and on and on and on. Blatantly notable. --Durin 14:38, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
