• Comment / weak keep erring on the side of caution. I'm not knowledgeable about the subject of women's basketball coaches at all, but noticed this page when patrolling. I just wanted to point out that the American women's basketball coaches category is vast for a subject I wouldn't expect so many articles on, and many other pages I sampled are about people with a similar career to the nominated article. It's either full of other articles that need to be deleted, or this article fits in there just fine. EditorInTheRye (talk) 07:53, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• ’’’Comment / ‘’’ When will the decision be made on the inclusion of Coach Hankerson entry? User:Mitchamz(Mitchamz)
• Comment / Publish Immediatedly Are you kidding me? Hilda M. Hankerson is one of the most Notable and Decorated Women HS Girls Coaches in history. Her teams are ranked both nationally and within the State of Ga. If style, syntax and clean up are the issue then do that but notablity is definitely not an issue. USA Today and ESPN are quality sources.Mitcham^{Article Support} 11:51, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Mitchamz, I have no issues with the style or anything. I know really well that AFD is not cleanup. This reputed source [1] from USATODAY which you referred is just a fan poll. It talks nothing about this person. And this one from ESPN [2] is about a competition rather than this person.? How can we consider these to establish GNG? As the creator of this article, you might really have an idea about her. But what about others? If you provide a reliable source which actually talks about her, I can consider withdrawal of this nom.

    The USA Today article is not a poll. It announced their Coach of the Awardee and ESPN just carried the National Championship on TVMitcham^{Article Support} 11:51, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    • Thats what Im also saying. USA today announced their coach of the year in a public poll. ESPN is talking about something else and only gives a mere mention about the subject. These two alone does not give sigvov to establish GNG. Kichu🐘 ^{Need any help?} 17:51, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Coaching a team to four championships and being recognized as a veteran woman's basketball coach is notable. The biggest issue is inline citation and writing style. I've already made a serious of changes to improve things, though there's a lot more work required. --Dnllnd (talk) 12:23, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The coverage of her does not meet the significant coverage in multiple reliable 3rd party indepdent sources test.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:53, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. She has just as much coverage as many articles similar to hers or more. When will discussion be closed on this subject? --Mitchamz (talk) 10:04, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  @Mitchamz: See WP:CLOSEAFD regarding timing. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 10:25, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment looks like there is coverage in some reliable sources that isn't already mentioned. I found two articles that I think would help demonstrate the subject meeting WP:GNG:
  • "Westlake's Hankerson wins 400th game"; February 15, 2011 South Metro Neighbor (Forest Park, GA) (and other newspapers)
  • "Hankerson's long wait paying off tremendously, Westlake seeks fourth consecutive state title against Carrollton", The Atlanta Voice (Atlanta, Georgia) 12 Mar 2021, Page 13 Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:07, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Fails GNG. SportsGuy789 (talk) 23:07, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• KEEP (Mitchamz cannot !vote more than once, and now he's spamming the shit out of this discussion. SportsGuy789 (talk) 15:09, 3 May 2021 (UTC)) - Follows GNG. She recieved continual sustained coverage from reputable sources such as ESPN, USA Today, USA Basketball and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for coaching a National Championship, 4 State Championships and 9 regional championship teams. Mitchamz (talk) 08:54, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Those sources happen to mention her name in passing in context of polls and season recaps. The articles are not about her. SportsGuy789 (talk) 15:09, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• • She is the principal subject of the cited sources and do not merely mention her name in passing. The USA Basketball article is specifically about her. ^[1] Mitchamz (talk) 13:09, 3 May 2021 (EST)
