Association football coach who has not worked at a professional level, and therefore is not notable under WP:N or WP:ATHLETE. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 22:09, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Disputed prod. No evidence of notability. --Dweller (talk) 22:13, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to have coached at Professional Level for Dunfermline Athletic —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.171.147.117 (talk) 10:03, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Working with youth players. That doesn't normally confer notability, unless it is a highly successful coach who works with one of the bigger clubs (eg Eric Harrison). Jmorrison230582 (talk) 10:15, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 81. Working with youth players doesn't fulfil WP:ATHLETE so he doesn't have automatic notability. As such, he needs to fulfil the usual notability criteria for anyone, which are outlined in WP:BIO, summarised as multiple non-trivial references to him in reliable sources. If these exist, he's notable and the article should be [improved to reflect this and] kept. --Dweller (talk) 12:04, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
