No indication of notability, played/coached just school and college teams, seem a case of WP:MILL. Svartner (talk) 23:17, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Football, Canada, Haiti, and New York. Svartner (talk) 23:17, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How thorough of a WP:BEFORE did you do? Googling got me this and this, which wouldn't indicate notability on their own, but definitely make it seem like a more detailed dig through newspaper archives might be worthwhile–that, and the fact that he's a member of his school's Hall of Fame and had a long coaching career, much of which was before the internet age.

Weak Keep: I'm unable to view the sources from Hatman, but this subject appears to have WP:SIGCOV in [[1]] and [[2]] with which to marginally meet the WP:GNG. There is also some coverage in French at [[3]]. Let'srun (talk) 01:10, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The French source is about a different Jean Tassy who was head of the Tonton Macoute not the footballer.Dougal18 (talk) 10:26, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Giant Snowman 19:27, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per sources above which (apparently) show notability (AGF - I can see the Archive.ph entry and one of the Newspaper.com only). Giant Snowman 19:33, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: No evidence of WP:SIGCOV. Fails WP:GNG Demt1298 (talk) 00:56, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep passes GNG per sources listed above. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 02:28, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Sorry, but I am unimpressed with the sources in article and provided above, I do not see any form of WP:SIGCOV for me. Govvy (talk) 10:03, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Per above. Notable college soccer player and coach. Article needs improvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 10:55, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep: per the sources above the subject meets WP:GNG as there is significant coverage in reliable sources. GothicGolem29 (Talk) 02:02, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per sources identified by Hatman31 and Let'srun. There is enough WP:SIGCOV to satisfy WP:BASIC. Let's keep in mind the subject's heyday was pre-Internet so finding sources is difficult. Still, a standalone article is justified, as the subject seems notable.--DesiMoore (talk) 15:50, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
