Fails WP:GNG, no significant coverage, coverage is passing mentions or local media reports. Coach = not automatically notable. Sent to AfC, declined, brought back to mainspace but still problematic - otherwise I'da just tagged it for notability... Alexandermcnabb (talk) 08:19, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment So I did some work on this article, including the move to userspace. I do believe it needs some work, I just wanted to get it to where I thought it could stand up as an article. A few points I would make:
- I'm not entirely sure an AFC decline from October 21 (when he was just appointed Head Coach, and had barely any articles about him anyway) should be held against the article. In my personal opinion it bears no resemblance to the article it was then.
- I'm not entirely sure what's a 'passing mention' about the sources that were given either. Yes, most of the sources are local coverage, but that's purely for the more detailed claims in the article. Would something like this have been more 'acceptable'? Or this? Perhaps this one?. There's also mentions and information elsewhere too. I have very little experience with page creation but I'm not sure how a trophy-winning coach at the top level in rugby league is being considered for deletion. Better sourcing needed possibly? That I could understand. If I'm honest this feels a bit of a rush to delete something that could be worked on. And yes, I include myself in that. Porterjoh (talk) 19:43, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article needs improving, but there is clearly much more coverage now compared to last October when he was virtually unknown. The recent cup win removes any doubt about his notability. J Mo 101 (talk) 23:30, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Strongest possible Keep - He was notable on 11 February when he took charge of Wigan as head coach for the first time in the Super League.Fleets (talk) 10:11, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
