Question. Is being an assistant coach grounds for deletion? Many are former players of note but for example Scott Morrison (basketball coach) seems to have a similar level of notability as this one. Thanks. -SusanLesch (talk) 15:13, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete assistant coaches are not notable for such. I would urge nominating the Morrison article for deletion as well.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:21, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment @SusanLesch: - Scott Morrison (basketball coach) easily passes WP:GNG per [1] [2] [3], [4], whereas Walt Hopkins most likely does not, at least I was unable to find any substantial articles about him. Being an assistant coach is neither grounds for deletion nor inclusion, the only question is whether the person passes WP:GNG. -- Dammit_steve (talk) 10:48, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Dammit steve who answered my question perfectly. -SusanLesch (talk) 13:09, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete All I can find is routine coverage of his hire as an assistant coach and that's not enough to meet WP:BIO. Going back to Susan's question, the fact is that, fair or unfair, being an assistant coach on an NBA team will inevitably result in way more media coverage than being an assistant coach on an WNBA team.
