Non-notable unsuccessful coach Orange Mike | Talk 03:47, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Per WP:NGRIDIRON, only one game as a coach in the Canadian Football League is necessary to presume notability. The subject was a head coach for 14 games in the CFL. I will try to add more sources to this article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:25, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as a straight-up WP:NGRIDIRON pass. Subject was a head coach in the CFL for parts of two seasons. Ejgreen77 (talk) 10:42, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:NGRIDIRON. Props to Metropolitan90 for improving and rescuing the article. Cbl62 (talk) 14:37, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Notable head coach in CFL -- clearly satisfies NGRIDIRON specific notability guideline criteria, and most likely the general notability guidelines as well. I wish we could spend more time actually improving articles such as this one, rather than debating their notability when the notability criteria is clearly satisfied. I suggest that Orangemike withdraw his nomination in this case, so that we may focus on more interesting AfDs to be decided. This one is headed for "snow keep".

Keep I can find no instance where a head coach from the CFL was deemed non-notable and I can find no reason to do that for this particular coach as well. Head coaches of professional teams of this caliber normally generate an abundance of notability in the news.--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:20, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
