Ted Ginn, Sr.

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Ginn is a high school football coach with only local coverage. No indication he passes notability guidelines. John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:00, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. Meets WP:NOTABLE with multiple national news coverage. Harrison2014 (talk) 17:18, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * So far, this article has one footnoted source that includes significant coverage in an independent, reliable source, and that source is a newspaper in the locality where the subject lives. Convince me: what other significant coverage are you seeing that qualifies as "multiple national news coverage," keeping in mind that we are looking for significant coverage of Ted Ginn, Sr., not trivial mentions of him that are derivative of his far more famous son, Ted Ginn, Jr.?

 * Keep I thought that Ted Ginn, Sr.'s notability might derive from his son, but the long ESPN article on him as well as the CBS News in-depth article convinced me otherwise. There are also several in-depth local articles. Taken together, someone could write a descent article for Ted Ginn, Sr.I am One of Many (talk) 03:51, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
 * A "descent article" could track even more generations of Ginns. ;) Cbl62 (talk) 01:31, 28 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep - The newly added sources (ESPN July 2012 and CBS November 2008) clearly demonstrate notability separate and apart from that of his son, with significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources as required by the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
