Contested deletion

This page should not be speedy deleted because... all of the links are blue and the users are working on creating articles for the coaches. Additionally it provides a concise listing of all the head coaches of San Diego State's baseball team. --Gerry D (talk) 03:45, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also it was initially deleted over the objections of many users who work on similar projects. Gerry D (talk) 03:47, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Object to Deletion. I am a member of all three major college sports projects and a very strong proponent of using "enhanced" navboxes to replace the inelegant and graphically clunky succession boxes for coaches on articles for college and professional football, basketball and baseball head coaches. NCAA Division I major college sports is the apex of amateur sports in America, and the overwhelming majority, if not all, of college football, basketball and baseball head coaches are notable. Many of the players of these Division I sports satisfy the general notability, too, even if they never play professional sports. I'm sorry that several of our British and Commonwealth editors fail to understand the notability of American major college sports to American sports fans, but let's have this out. Now. Perhaps they can be educated. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 00:52, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is an excellent point. I believe it could be used in all D-I college sports articles. Gerry D (talk) 01:23, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedy deleted because it provides navigation for a number of valid articles and parallels a large class of analogous templates all in support of a topic area with established notability. The participants of the initial deletion discussion were overwhelmingly in favor of keeping this template. The closing admin, however, disregarded that consensus, and made an executive veto to delete. During the time of the initial discussion, the number of valid links off the template grew from 1 to 3 and the only real opposition to the template was that it had too many red links and not enough blue links. The template now has 5 valid, non-redirect links. Jweiss11 (talk) 03:52, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the speedy delete tag was posted by User:Norespectasip? 16 career edits starting a week ago? Seems fishy. Jweiss11 (talk) 03:56, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds fishy. Gerry D (talk) 04:24, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't just smell fishy, it is fishy. J'accuse—if you're going to fight for what templates you believe should be deleted, then please have the courtesy to your fellow editors and the courage of your own convictions to initiate the TfD process under your usual Wikipedia handle, and not some week-old sock-puppet.
