- Keep "Google" isn't the measure of notability, especially for college football coaches active in the 1950s and 1960s. Head coaches of college football programs are almost always considered notable and I see no reason to make an exception here. Logic at WP:CFBCOACH applies. Certainly could use some "beefing up" but that's editing, not deletion.-- Paul McDonald ( talk) 16:14, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep Plenty of coverage of subject at Newspapers.com. Jweiss11 ( talk) 23:01, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep Could this article use an overhaul of good info? Yes. Should we delete it? Absolutely not. He is notable in being a college coach (Even if the article has not much info) and keeping with what Jweiss11 said, there is coverage on the internet of him. (Feels like this could end in a landslide keep.) James-the-Charizard ( talk) 00:04, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep per Jweiss11. WP:TROUT to the nominator for a total lack of WP:BEFORE, and for thinking that "the google test" was in any way sufficient for a subject that was born in 1921, died in 1985, and last active in their field in 1962. Ejgreen77 ( talk) 14:00, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
