 * Comment Not strange that a speedy was denied since a simple WP:BEFORE would have revealed this source literally on the first page of a Google searc. Note that having never coached a fully professional team has absolutely no bearing on a persons notability. I also noticed that when the IP user tried to Speedy delete the article, part of the comment read "[..] move the darts player to Rob Cross and remove the disambig." which indicates to me what this AfD is really about. I'm going to see if Newspapers.com will turn up further sources for the subject. Alvaldi (talk) 13:43, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep Passes GNG with the above source and this Alvaldi (talk) 14:21, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Even if this person is proven to be notbale, Rob Cross should not remain a disambiguation, the primary topic is the darts player. --2A01:36D:1200:4638:8D94:5535:4761:7FEF (talk) 14:08, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I agree that the dart player is most likely the primary topic but an AfD of other subjects with the same name is not the way to correct that. It would have been better to start a move discussion or just simply WP:BOLDLY make the moves as it would not be terribly controversial. Alvaldi (talk) 14:26, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep meets GNG with new source plus those on the article. “Never coached a fully professional game” is not a valid deletion reason. College sports get significant press coverage in the US. Rikster2 (talk) 15:30, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
