SNGs are a shorthand as to what level of achievement should generate WP:GNG coverage. They are not a blanket pass. He coached at a college that competes in a state level conference. I doubt this is what was intended when college head coaches were guven a pass in NCOLLATH. Fails GNG, radically. John from Idegon ( talk) 00:48, 16 July 2020 (UTC) reply

• Delete - per nom. This is a high school basketball coach with three years at a division three school. Just no way this meets any of WP's notability standards. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steve Ernst - this article was recreated despite prior deletion. He has only become less notable since then, as he is no longer even a college coach. ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia ^talk 15:11, 16 July 2020 (UTC) reply
• Keep Meets GNG per [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. ~ EDDY ^{( talk/ contribs)}~ 16:26, 16 July 2020 (UTC) reply
• Delete The coverage given above is only in papers local to where he was. He does not even merit coverage in the Detroit News. Being a Division 3 basketball coach is not default sign of notability, yet we will get at least as much coverage for every division 3 coach. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 17:39, 16 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Then that is an argument for more articles on D3 coaches that receive this level of coverage. It is not routine, and they are regionally important papers. Plus not every D3 coach has a player who goes pro. ~ EDDY ^{( talk/ contribs)}~ 01:10, 17 July 2020 (UTC) reply
• Delete the sources included and available suggests they're WP:ROUTINE and the article subject is unable to satisfy WP:ANYBIO. Graywalls ( talk) 21:52, 16 July 2020 (UTC) reply
