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 ☎ 18:32, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep exceeds WP:BIO, WP:ATHLETE and WP:NOTABILITY. Stub article, yes. Notable head coach of a notable football program in college football Division I.--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:55, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete fails WP:BIO and WP:NOTE in that article lacks non-trivial coverage in reliable sources. -Djsasso (talk) 21:28, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep played for the Houston Oilers. -Djsasso (talk) 23:50, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep Prairie View is now a fairly important historically black university --not sure about the status of the team in the 1980s. However, there are likely to be print sources, and the article should not be abandoned until someone does a proper search. Pre-web information about this and similar universities is relatively difficult to find, but they are nonetheless important historically DGG (talk) 23:12, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Hayman's coaching career drew coverage in the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and others. He's a member of the University of Delaware Athletic Hall of Fame. He played six seasons with the Houston Oilers. --Samuel J. Howard (talk) 18:01, 20 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) 01:01, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
