Nom & vote ... Del: N-n. Effective & socially admirable HS coach, recognized once by AP, but otherwise notable only w/in local & HS-sports universe. G-test:

33 of about 115 for "John Hoch" coach wisconsin

many of which reflect only fact he holds his position, or are about a builder of vehicular coaches. Jerzy•t 21:44, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. I had originally tagged this as speedy but I guess technically it does assert notability for winning Associated Press Coach of the Year, whatever that might be. Kafziel Talk 21:52, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete copyvio of [1]; otherwise unverified. Melchoir 22:31, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment:This Article Should Stay: Coach of the year is the most prestigous award any High School coach can be given in the United States. Its not only giving for Championships but for the charecter of the individual. Being coach of the year does assert notability and it should be kept. This is not a cpyright violation because it is fact not a bio. I wrote what UW River Falls used for there webpage. It is just a timeline of what John Hoch has accomplished.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Schmitz33 (talk • contribs) 14:04, 19 October 2006

    • Schmitz: Coaches (as well as teachers and athletes) aren't generally notable below the college level. You can see Wikipedia's current guidelines for biographies here. Kafziel Talk 14:33, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete the article, which, as noted, is a copyright violation. Then add a sentence to the Lancaster, Wisconsin article noting that Hoch was one of eight people to be inducted into the UW-River Falls Athletic Hall of Fame in 2003, and that in 2001 he received two regional honors: the Associated Press named him "state coach of the year..." [2], and the Green Bay Packers/Wisconsin Football Coaches Association named him "prep football coach of the year."[3][[4]] Dpbsmith (talk) 00:47, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment The article has been deleted as a copyright violation. I have added the material on Hoch's 2001 and 2003 honors to the Lancaster, Wisconsin article. In my opinion, a State Coach of the Year is not notable enough to justify an entire article, but it definitely takes him out of the rank of ordinary high school coaches, particularly considering the size of Lancaster. His achievement is an important fact about Lancaster, Wisconsin and I'd like to thank User:Schmitz33 for adding the fact to Wikipedia. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:02, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
