Non-notable minor college football coach and pastor, no substantive, independent articles about him. Fails WP:ATHLETE even on the broadest measure (his head coaching career has been in NAIA, not at the "highest level of amateur sports"). Prod removed by creator stating "article has been improved and sources added," but the sources are still only from the schools in question and not independent, and none establish his notability per WP:BIO or WP:ATHLETE. See prior AfDs at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Walter J. West, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ward A. Wescott, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William McCracken, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Max Holm and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/J. J. Thiel.  Ravenswing  15:46, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep rather than repeat detailed response, please read my response at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kevin Haslam (football coach) which should apply here as well. If you have questions, please ask!--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:48, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete--in agreement with RGT, and for the same reason as Kevin Haslam, below. Drmies (talk) 20:08, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• delete per nom. Also note conversations in above and below AfD's regarding the reasoning behind the nomination rationale. I feel it is sound. Protonk (talk) 16:50, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of American football-related deletion discussions. -- Fabrictramp | talk to me 23:31, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
