Robert Dozier[edit]

Subject not notable except for "coaching six NFL players" at the high school level. Unsourced and almost entirely OR; only "sources" are a redirect to another website, a passing mention in an alumni magazine, and a chart of high school win-loss records.

Delete and Move Robert Dozier (basketball) to Robert Dozier. Having a difficult time finding any sort of notability outside of local. I found two brief quotes from the Ludington Daily News and the Rome News-Tribune but hardly anything substantial. Vodello (talk) 22:40, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fails WP:GNG: little to no significant media coverage, only mention I found on him (not bball player) was in a game recap article. Notability can not be had through association. Strikehold (talk) 20:23, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Folks.... Please read the article; read about the man. Wikipedia must include people who impacted and influenced their fellow man. Coach Robert Dozier may not be spotlighted on Google - but he has earned a spot in Wikipedia.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Chuckjav (talk • contribs)
- I am in no way saying he has not influenced and impacted anybody. But because he is not spotlighted on Google -- or anywhere else for that matter -- is precisely why there should not be an article on Wikipedia -- because Wikipedia needs reliable sources and there are no reliable sources about him at this time. I can tell you spent a lot of time on the article, and perhaps you should copy/save the article into your userspace, do some research and find some reliable sources, and change the tone from narrative prose to encyclopedic -- and then possibly the article will be warranted. But right now the article reads as nothing more than a fan piece, and not an encyclopedia article. Spell4yr (talk) 22:57, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
