Non-notable assistant coach of college level sports. Does not meet criteria for Notability_(sports). — raeky ( talk 14:19, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete BLP nightmare. Current article has one reference, the rest being unverifiable information. Unlikely to find any more information on this minor amateur coach. Also, topic is non-notable as they have not received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, as evidenced by the lack of references. G News provides sources where this subject was quoted in the newspapers, but nothing about the subject. -Atmoz (talk) 17:01, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Articles are only deleted based on the BLP policy when they're harmful because of unsourced negative content. I see nothing negative in this article. - Mgm|(talk) 13:11, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * That's true but you also have to meet the basic notability guidelines as well, and as of yet we've seen nothing to say this person does. — raeky ( talk 19:41, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

 * cmt this is a very big american football program, and sources are probably findable. If he was a head coach it would be a speedy keep -- i'm surprised that there has been so little easily findable stuff on him, though, given that he's supposed to be assistant head coach.Bali ultimate (talk) 22:42, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The head coach is very notable, but generally I think assistant coaches are not. Rarely do they generate any kind of press outside of a random quote or stat which isn't enough to be notable according to our standards. I agree WVU has a big program, but every big program has a lot of people behind the scenes and not in the spotlight, each of those people doesn't need a page here. — raeky ( talk 04:17, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete on second thought, while i'm surprised that there are no sources given his position, i certainly can't find any. So my surprise is irrelevant. No independnent sources equals no article, particularly for BLPs.Bali ultimate (talk) 14:46, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
