Coach of questionably notable team. No sources. Coaches aren't inherently notable. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • 03:36, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

- Keep — Coach of an annual powerhouse in NCAA D2. Sources are only necessary for direct quotes or material that is being challenged. Nominator has a history of antipathy towards me that suggests this might be a bad-faith nomination. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!: 14-0) 16:00, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
- Delete per lack of notability. At least hurry up and find sources. As much as possible ought to be sourced. Şłџğģő 22:54, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- (A) Why is so-called "notability" relevant? (B) Assuming it is (which it's not), how is the head coach of a perennial powerhouse in D2 Men's Basketball not "notable" by any reasonable standard? (C) Only direct quotes and contentious statements need to be sourced; what direct quotes or contentious statements do you see in the article? Kurt Weber (Go Colts!: 14-0) 14:44, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
- I generally respond to strongly held beliefs like A with a question: If you could put odds on it, what would be the odds of me changing your mind about anything? I would put those odds at zero. If you're honest, you would, too. Based on that, what's the point of replying with any substantial defense? I'm not going to convince you to change your mind, and vice versa. Should we really go back and forth a dozen times just to prove that? (FWIW, I never disputed point C.) Şłџğģő 15:16, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
