Fay G. Moulton

Sorry. Probably a very nice man but not notable. Just as a large company's 5th head marketing director of the eastern region would probably not qualify for a wikipedia article, so shouldn't a 5th coach of a school qualify. Did he also coach an olympic team? no. JerryVanF (talk) 05:26, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete JerryVanF (talk) 05:26, 8 May 2008 (UTC) I remembered that I have to inform the author of the AFD. Now that I have done it, it feels like I just punched the guy in the stomach. So I will hold off AFD's for now. As far as this one, I abstain. He may be very notable, who knows! JerryVanF (talk) 05:33, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Today Kansas State is a Division I team, but I'm not sure that makes coaches from a pre-NCAA era automatically notable. --Dhartung | Talk 06:37, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Don't feel bad about it--that's the way it's supposed to work. You think it isn't notable, we all talk about it and form a consensus.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:04, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep and Merge: Wikipedia:WikiProject College football consideres all head college football coaches (past and present) notable. See arguments listed under Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mike Gottsch. HOWEVER, this notification let me to realize that someone has created an article about Fay Moulton the olympic athelete from Kansas. I think that it just about has to be the same person and we should look in to merging the two articles--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:03, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Based on the above comment and the fact that the nominator struck through his !vote, I'm going to treat this as a withdrawn nomination and close. Xymmax (talk) 13:00, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
