[edit] Don Nelson

Not notable - vanity? --Brookie 19:25, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and expand, or at the very least, mark it as a sports-related stub so that the Wikipedians familar with the National Basketball Association can improve it. My friend just reminded me that Don Nelson won the NBA Coach of the Year Award at least 3 times. Zzyzx11 23:34, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand, same reasons as Zzyzx11. Should be able to find detailed coaching history on Mavericks website. – Beginning 02:11, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, article as it stands is un-encyclopaedic. Megan1967 04:54, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and Expand. This NBA article suggests he has more than 40 years experience as a NBA coach and player. NBA Coach of the year three times and voted one of the top ten NBA coaches of all time. Doubt it is vanity.Capitalistroadster 10:37, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - that's not what "vanity" means - David Gerard 22:58, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, spurious notability. JamesBurns 06:59, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, clearly not vanity. While I think professional sports are disgustingly overrated by society as a whole, that's no reason to delete, and there's plenty of precedent for articles about coaches. —Korath (Talk) 02:03, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)
