These do 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 ☎ 18:48, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. No indication of a professional playing career or notability as an amateur player or coach. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheMolecularMan (talk • contribs) 00:39, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Your average college football coach. If you delete this article, you might as well have to delete another couple of thousands for the same reason. ––Bender235 (talk) 09:39, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Other stuff exists is not a valid arguement for keep. Besides I think there at least a few editors (myself included) that do plan on AfDing most of them. Dpmuk (talk) 12:00, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Response Yes, college football coach articles have gotten spammed by deletionists. See list at articles for deletion. And I would argue that "other stuff should be deleted" is not a reason to delete this article.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:02, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Your average college football coach indeed. Doesn't satisfy WP:BIO or WP:NOTABILITY. (And if there really are thousands more like that on WP, well, then we have some work to do.)
SIS20:37, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply] - Average Keep "average" college football coaches are notable, just like "average" college presidents, "average" high schools, "average" airports, "average" cities, "average" counties, and "average" rivers.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:02, 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 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) 01:53, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom and precedent at Walter J. West Dpmuk (talk) 12:00, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Walter J. West is not precedent, but one AfD that "slipped through" the process. There many, many, many, many other articles very very similar that have passed the AfD process. Oh, and since I now have to go put this on a whole bunch of other AfDs, this once again supports my reasoning to please move the discussion to a single location.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:10, 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) 01:02, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
