Article was placed only to attack the subject of the article. High probability of libel in this article. Surfbum (talk) 01:22, 2 December 2008 (UTC) Worthless libel attacking an individual.
 * Comment This article has been vandalized repeatedly by IP users the last day or so. A couple of named users have tried reverting to the original stub, most recently here. I don't know that an assistant coach in a I-A football program is necessarily notable so I won't say keep yet, but it shouldn't be deleted just because it's being attacked.

 * Keep Martinez is at one of the more prominent college football programs and is thus a widely discussed figure, even as an assistant coach. -- TexasDawg (talk) 20:01, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep very notable (which is probably why the article is getting so much vandalism). Google News finds 611 unique mentions of this guy, many of them in depth (+others). Icewedge (talk) 06:20, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Easily passes WP:N with many non-trivial mentions in national and local new media.  Lack of sources currently in the article does not imply that sources are not available; in this case, they are available. In time, editors will add the sources to the article. --Jack-A-Roe (talk) 03:49, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
