[edit] Nody Parker

Nody Parker (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is a non-notable biography, actually it reads more of an obituary. There is enough of an assertation to fail CSD notability guidelines and so here we are. I can't find any reliable sources outside of the external links in the article that assert Parker's significant contribution to either baseball or education. Keegantalk 05:41, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete "played and coached high school, college, and semi-professional baseball."ports editor of his hometown newspaper, the Minden Press-Herald in Minden," " part-time recreation director for the City of Minden" (Minden is a "city" of 13,000 people.) "High school principal" -- of several high schools in succession, in even smaller towns--the largest seems to have been Cooper, Texas, population 2000. And there is a little more--He was superintendent of a school district in a village Yantis, population 321. The district presumable serves more than just the village, for its high school has an enrollment of 210 [1]. Heads of nationally known major schools can be notable, but it doesn't go down nearly this far, unless they've done something otherwise really exceptional in their careers.

  • Keep. It's still under construction. At least, let the AfD remain open for a few more days. Bearian 17:18, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. The article thoroughly documents his non-notability. —David Eppstein 06:07, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
