I had proposed this article for speedy deletion (A7): the proposal was removed because «"head baseball coach at the University of Oklahoma" is an assertion of notability». Actually, it seems to me that this is just the description of a job: everybody is "somebody of somewhere", and almost any job can be qualified in a similar way.

 * Comment I don't quite understand your deletion rationale. Could you clarify? Anyway, this guy has a pretty solid presence at Google News, so I think we should keep the article, or at least merge/redirect to Oklahoma Sooners baseball. Zagalejo^^^ 19:08, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I am sorry if I have been unclear. My point is that, for what I can understand, being "head coach etc." is just the description of a job, and having a job is something most honest people do, not a reason of notability. If this person is notable, this should made clear also to somebody who, like me, knows nothing about baseball or the University of Oklahoma.

 * Keep, head coaches of major sports at major universities are notable. NawlinWiki (talk) 22:38, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I removed the speedy, and was challenged about it. I don't follow college sports, but seems rather obvious to me that such people are notable. There is always press coverage for the head coaches in the various sports at the major athletic universities. DGG (talk) 20:27, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Apparently, not living in the USA, I do not understand which kind of figures are deemed notable there. I'd be ready to stand corrected and withdraw my nomination, if I understood this. Just from reading the article, it looked to me something like, say, "the head waiter at Such-and-Such Restaurant". Is there some Sport in USA or Sport in USA University article to understand better the weight such a person has in USA society? Thanks, Goochelaar (talk) 21:47, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
