Seems to not satisfy WP:BIO. Borderline perhaps. asenine t/c\r (fc: f2abr04) 22:16, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Week keep due to his college carreer and coaching career. If he had been one or the other I would've voted delete. Editorofthewikireview my edits here! 02:22, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - The highlight of the subject's college career (at a community college) was an Honorable Mention (not exactly a major award), and while Purdue is certainly a notable team, its assistant coach probably isn't.
  • Delete. No sources proving notability. Nick Graves (talk) 20:34, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete: Fails WP:ATHLETE going away. He wouldn't attract any notability for his modest playing career (118 G-hits for "Jack Owens" + "basketball" + "Eastern Illinois") and there are no non-trivial sources for his coaching career; just a bunch of simple news reports of "Jack Owens was hired as an assistant coach for Purdue."  RGTraynor  13:22, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Fails WP:ATHLETE, as well as WP:BIO. His career doesn't seem to pass any of those links. Also, no reliable sources in article.--RyRy5 (talk ♠ wikify) 22:23, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
