Comment from nominator:
WP:NCOLLATH states that "College athletes and coaches are notable if they have been the subject of non-trivial media coverage beyond merely a repeating of their statistics, mentions in game summaries, or other
WP:ROUTINE coverage." Are the two newspaper articles when he was hired as a head coach more than routine coverage?
Conditional Delete I can't find any sources which actually cover him significantly. The articles in the article are transactional blurbs you'd see for any small-town athletic director or football coach. A Newspapers.com before search brought up hyper-local articles about his speech to a Lebanon rotary club, a mention in someone else's obituary, a car accident in eastern Ohio which might not be the same Bill McHenry, a mention of his attendance at a banquet for little leaguers in Lebanon, a couple mentions in a game recap about lacrosse, three brief mentions in an article about the upcoming football season, et cetera, and a number of false positives. If someone posts sources which actually cover him significantly I'm happy to take another look, but the sourcing in the article and that I've been able to find is routine, doesn't cover him significantly, and therefore doesn't meet
WP:GNG.
