Steve Strome

Unsourced. The subject does not appear to fulfill WP:BIO, and certainly neither criteria of WP:ATHLETE. Ohconfucius (talk) 03:42, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Strome is a college tennis coach. What sources I could find were mostly on conference sites. He seems to have been moderately successful at Miami and Army, but I couldn't find any evidence of national success. Cmprince (talk) 02:49, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - Head tennis coach of 4 NCAA tennis teams including LSU, Miami (Ohio), Duke and the US Military academy per . More proof of notability comes from this article which details Strome's career at Miami University. Perhaps a statement from this article could also help establish notability criteria, "He has now received the laurel four times during his career, which ties former Army head coach Steve Strome for the most accolades received by a men's tennis coach in league history. He has guided the Mids to five Patriot League crowns, which also ties the league standard held by Strome." Apparently Strome, assuming we are discussing the smae one which I find highly likely is some kind of record holder amongst tennis coaches. More articles with information are, , , . Or for reading material that mentions Strome try , , . Last but not least I do not believe that WP:ATHLETE can be used in this situation as Mr. Strome was not an athlete but rather a coach. - Marcusmax  ( speak ) 03:23, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment These sources only seem to mention Strome in passing. The league referred to in the "laurel/accolades" quote is the Patriot League. The Patriot League article does not mention tennis, so I presume that it isn't particularly well-known in the sport. While he may have been successful at some schools, it's unclear that he's made a wider name for himself in the tennis community. You are right about WP:ATHLETE, but I think it's still a good guideline, replacing "competed" with "coached." Cmprince (talk) 13:26, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
