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 recently in progress at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Walter J. West. Kittybrewster ☎ 18:24, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep exceeds WP:BIO, WP:ATHLETE and WP:NOTABILITY. Stub article, yes. Notable head coach in college football and notable player in college football. 1958 national champion.--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:48, 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) 01:00, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I find it easy to believe that more comprehensive articles have been written about him but until those are unearthed we have loads of other sources that demonstrate that everything we have is verifiable and true which is why we use sources. -- Banjeboi 06:53, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
