Non-notable sports coach. De-prodded with a claim that the subject meets WP:NSPORT, but they do not meet the basic criteria, and there is no specific guideline for handball coaches. There is hardly any coverage in independent sources, and what is there is routine. – Joe (talk) 14:32, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete does not pass notability guidelines for sports coaches.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:59, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
My reason for deprodding was a little more nuanced than stated by the nominator: "Head coach of a team in a professional league and coach of the year would seem to way exceed the spirit of WP:ATHLETE. Handball is a major sport in many countries, just not anglophone countries". I'm sure that the only reason for a lack of specific handball notability criteria is that the sport is little-known in anglophone countries, but it is a major sport in mainland Europe, and, if we judge things on a world-wide basis, its practitioners are at least as notable as those of, say, baseball or rugby league. I'm sure that if there were specific notability guidelines for handball they would include being head coach in a professional national league and the EHF Cup. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 17:43, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Jota González is an above average coach in his field, but that does not merit a Wikipedia article on him. Definite lack of reliable/independent sources and outstanding achievements.desmay (talk) 00:07, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What is unreliable and/or non-independent about the sources that I cited? 86.17.222.157 (talk) 13:42, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
