Non-notable division II coach, not highest level of competition in sport.  MBisanz  talk 04:52, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * +Weak+ Delete - Fails the guidelines. Shadowjams (talk) 10:26, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Nom appears to be referring to WP:ATHLETE, which is for competing players or athletes, not coaches. I can find no specific guideline for college coaches, so the Notability_(people) should apply. A basic news search establishes his notability with multiple, relible sources over the course of the past decade. Wine Guy   Talk  09:03, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Interesting point. But I still think WP:ATHLETE is instructive. In any case the general notability criteria will always overrule the specific ones; the presumption though is that they don't conflict (sort of like the Federal rules of civil procedure are presumed constitutional...). I'll add a weak to my above though because you make an interesting point with the newspaper coverage. Shadowjams (talk) 00:36, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

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


 * Delete I grant that he has had news coverage. What I don't see is significant news coverage, nor coverage in secondary sources. --Bejnar (talk) 04:29, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
