Keep we almost always find that any head college football coach who has coached for a few seasons achieves notability through WP:GNG. You can see reasoning at WP:CFBCOACH. It's not surprising that there are not very many online news sources easy to find for a head football coach in the time period of 1930-1934. For reference, review WP:CFBWEST.--Paul McDonald (talk) 11:11, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Paulmcdonald : "we almost always find that any head college football coach who has coached for a few seasons achieves notability through WP:GNG" -- really? Will check out WP:CFBCOACH and WP:CFBWEST as per your suggestion but am not withdrawing nomination [yet, anyway]. Need to hear from more editors. Quis separabit? 11:33, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't expect you to withdraw your nomination, the discussion is always valuable and makes Wikipedia better. Let it run its course.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:41, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Additional sources now added to the article establish that the subject passes WP:GNG with significant coverage in multiple, reliable sources. Cbl62 (talk) 21:11, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
