College soccer coach doesn't meet GNG or sports notability guidelines. Article is sourced only with a single link from his university and I can't find any significant coverage on the article subject. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 11:38, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, this looks like SIGCOV. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:02, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, BeanieFan11, thanks for adding this. I don't think it's a reliable source though. A note at the bottom of the piece marks it as "an unedited user writing submission", so similar to a Medium post really. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 20:56, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Agreed that this does not appear to pass WP:GNG or any relevant WP:SNG. Also agree with the concerns about "bvmsports" not being a reliable source. Didn't turn anything else up with a Google search either. Jay eyem (talk) 22:23, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no evidence of notability. Giant Snowman 14:19, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral – fails WP:NCOLLATH, and the prose is almost a direct copy from the Butler profile that is the only reference currently on the page. However, I found two articles that provide coverage towards WP:GNG, and then the reason that I'll sit at neutral: an hourlong podcast with Snape. I've been staring at the editing screen and this comment and haven't been able to make up my mind either way, so I'll just present what I've found and leave it up to the rest of the fine editors here.

Delete, podcasts are generally not taken as indications of notability. They are rarely subject to editorial oversight, and in interview format, they are basically primary sources. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 14:20, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - the only good source from the ones linked in this discussion is this one so does not have multiple WP:RS showing WP:SIGCOV Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 10:07, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
