Thanks for these, and discovering the name was misspelled. That error obviously impacted my earlier search for references.4meter4 (talk) 05:14, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Subject clearly passes GNG. Wide coverage of his college football career both as a player and coach. The correct spelling of his last name appears to be "Vaughn" and common name "Vaughn Blake". Jweiss11 (talk) 18:36, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

US Census and military draft registration data agrees that its "Vaughn" and not "Vaughan" if that helps. Thetreesarespeakingtome (talk) 19:19, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

His gravestone also says "Vaughn"; see https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/74191110/john-vaughn-blake. Jweiss11 (talk) 19:37, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Jweiss11 and the sources provided by ~WikiOriginal-9~ and move to John Vaughn Blake or Vaughn Blake, whichever is the consensus, as that was his name. Thetreesarespeakingtome (talk) 15:35, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think the subject's common name is "Vaughn Blake". Jweiss11 (talk) 16:15, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
