Greg Johnson (American football)[edit]

Does 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 recently in progress at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Walter J. West. Kittybrewster ☎ 18:26, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep exceeds WP:BIO, WP:ATHLETE and WP:NOTABILITY. Notable NFL player, notable head coach in college football and notable player in college football.--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:51, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - this assertion of notability isn't as clear, but considering this as a series of athletic coaches in a notable team and other criterion, it does satisfy WP:ATHLETE. I would recommend a rewrite to show clearer assertion of notability though. - Jameson L. Tai ^{talk ♦ contribs} 20:56, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ Fails WP:BIO and WP:NOTE as its references do not have non-trivial coverage. -Djsasso (talk) 21:23, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Played for the Miami Dolphins. -Djsasso (talk) 23:53, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural Keep Nominator neglected to link the result of the prior AfD on this subject. Townlake (talk) 22:17, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Actually, don't even need that. He was a member of the 1988 Dolphins. Townlake (talk) 22:20, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There is actually a full sports Illustrated article devoted totally to his coaching career. That's enough for notability. And in any case, there's what was found above about his professional career. Careless article writing not to look for background information like that, but he's notable.

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) 01:00, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
