The result was keep‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__. I think I can close this now that the nominator is arguing to Keep this article and the one editor who advocated for Delete has crossed out their "vote". Liz Read! Talk! 05:16, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Peter J. Patton

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Patton is an elite multisport athlete that fails WP:NCOLLATH, WP:NHSPHSATH, WP:NHOOPS and WP:GNG. He has been hired in as a shooting coach by various National Basketball Association teams Timberwolves in 2016, Mavericks in 2018, and Bulls in 2023. These are not roles that generally support notability. High school star player in three sports. Played at DePaul where one year he went 29–53 on threes. No NCAA records or statistical championships. Not even conference statistical championships in the mid-major conferences DePaul was in during his years. This falls far short of any test of notability.

 * Delete per nom. Fails GNG. SportsGuy789 (talk) 05:51, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Change to Keep per TonyTheTiger's expansion. SportsGuy789 (talk) 21:52, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't know how he fares on WP:NHOOPS:2 because the article has not fleshed out his career. I would even change with an All-League somewhere. I probably jumped the gun based on his possible pro career. I think we often let basketball players slide with many pro teams. I am not sure why I jumped the gun.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:05, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment I have expanded the article FWIW. Possibly weak notability. DaHuzyBru (talk) 07:00, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I think the 2nd team All-IBA selection I can move to Weak Keep-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:45, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I am having trouble trying to 5x this guy. There is not much out there. There was Peter Patton who worked for Gund Arena at least from 1999-2003.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:12, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * He holds the Depaul single-season 3FG% record because they have a 20 made minimum, which is the lowest I have ever seen. His other notable accomplishment at DePaul was going 5-5 in a game according to the record book, but the press describes the day as a 3-3 3-point shot performance. He has never held any other DePaul record.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:24, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Can anyone source whether this is the same Peter Patton who was the Gund Arena director of bookings during the 1999-2003 period where I see his name in the press.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 14:46, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Is it encyclopedic to include that he pitched a 2-hitter in high school? Comment here or on article talk.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 14:46, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
