Tim Reynolds (football coach)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Non-notable assistant American football coach. Fails the WP:GNG and the specific WP:CFBASST requirements, never been a head coach, no awards etc. (Note: there is a high school coach of the same name who was the USA Today High School Coach of the Year) Tassedethe (talk) 19:15, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete does not appear to meet our notability standards through WP:GNG, WP:CFBASST, or any other measure I can find.--Paul McDonald (talk) 04:58, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Subject coach is a non-notable former college football player and a non-notable assistant coach.  Subject does not satisfy the notability requirements of WP:NCOLLATH&mdash;subject is not a member of the CFB Hall of Fame and never received a major national award.  He never played a down in a regular season professional game, and is not entitled to a presumption of notability per WP:NGRIDIRON.  Subject's notability must stand or fall under the general requirements of WP:GNG.  Google media and Google News Archive searches reveal dozens of hits (and many more for an unrelated American sports writer, and other persons of similar name), but none that provide any meaningful coverage by sources that are independent of the subject person, his former teams or former leagues.  Such non-independent sources cannot be used to establish notability.  While I agree with Paul McDonald's "delete" conclusion immediately above, I note for the record that WP:CFBASST is part of an essay that expresses the opinions of several CFB editors; the essay represents neither official Wikipedia-wide policy nor the policy/majority opinion of WikiProject College football ("WP:CFB").

 * Comment yes that is an essay, one written largely by yours truly with input from the community. It is not a binding policy.  I should have clarified.--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:59, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Does not appear notable under any applicable guideline (or essay). cmadler (talk) 18:25, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
