I've read discussion this page is unnotable. Anyways, all sources are mainly passing mentions. He is only known for his successful students but notability is not inherited. Other info is basic and non-essential ALongStay (talk) 04:45, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why? Are you going to go back to your CrazyAces489 account to fix it and re-submit it? I don't think you can keep flipping past more than one account as you please.ALongStay (talk) 05:31, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I only came here to give an opinion. This was after you messaged me. [3] . Your general uncivil behavior is what has gotten you IBAN-ed and blocked. I will not be baited. 173.52.99.208 (talk) 05:36, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It is hard to see what his notability is based on. The lede should summarize what that is - but all we have is what high school he attended and that he got a 7th Dan. A long coaching career and being a retired insurance salesman do not confer notability.Peter Rehse (talk) 16:14, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I could find nothing to show that he has the significant independent coverage needed to meet WP:GNG, nor do I see anything to show he meets WP:MANOTE. Passing mentions and rank are insufficient to show notability. Papaursa (talk) 01:46, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:MANOTE. No indication of notability.Mdtemp (talk) 17:04, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as still thin regarding his own notability, there are some claims but it's still questionable. SwisterTwister talk 19:00, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
