The result was delete. Probably should have been included in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A.C. Ransom. I will userfy either article on specific request. Chick Bowen 01:07, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alured Ransom (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)

Does not appear to meet WP:BIO, WP:ATHLETE or WP:NOTABILITY and article lacks non-trivial coverage in reliable, independent sources. See also a similar AFD currently in progress at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Walter J. West. Kittybrewster ☎ 11:58, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep until the results of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A.C. Ransom are known. If the consensus is to delete that article then I see no reason to keep an article about the same person. If that article is kept, the two articles should be merged and expanded with the additional information that I found from New York Times and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. 09er (talk) 18:24, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete since the consensus is to delete A.C. Ransom 09er (talk) 14:36, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with A.C. Ransom.Keep merged information and found more.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:34, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Please Move Discussion All of a sudden, there are a large number of college football head coach articles being considered for deletion. There has always been a trickle--one or two at a time, but my current count shows 28 [Wikipedia:WikiProject College football#Articles & Pages being considered for deletion|articles for deletion]], and I'm sure I'm missing many. One editor has achieved a deletion of Walter J. West and is now claiming "precedent" to delete coaches. I suggest (and have been suggesting for some time now) moving these argument to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football/Notability so that we can have a uniform and open discussion about what truly makes a notable college football coach. This will prevent arguing article-at-a-time and help to make Wikipedia a better encyclopedia. It will prevent a "scramble" on both sides of the argument and make for a single place to come to a true consensus instead of a hit-or-miss end result.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:55, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom, precedence and the fact that another AfD already appears to have established that they are not notable. Dpmuk (talk) 12:05, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Let's Talk Precedence Please forgive the table in this discussion... it bears scrutiny.

moved table to talk page

If "Precedence" is the true guidance on this, the result must indeed be keep.--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:17, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete fails WP:BIO and WP:NOTE in that there is a lack of non-trivial coverage in reliable sources. -Djsasso (talk) 21:34, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request As discussed on the AfD talk page, if this article (or any of the series of articles) is closed as a delete, please kindly first move the article to User:Paulmcdonald/Articlename, where "Articlename" is the name of the article (or articles) being removed. Also, please note the new page location at User:Paulmcdonald/deletedcoach so we can be sure to find the moved page.
Why? There have been, at present count, 58 articles of our project placed on the AfD list and there is just not enough time to adequately and appropriately respond and ultimately improve the articles themselves. This would give the project memebers time to work on improving the articles. This request should in no way imply that I believe that the article (or articles) in quesiton should be deleted at this time. I am making a simple cut-n-paste request due to the sheer volume of AfDs in such a short period of time.--Paul McDonald (talk) 00:59, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
