Despite having nine footnotes at the bottom of the article, a cursory check of them reveals that only the banning-related sources actually focuses on the subject; the rest are passing mentions. Therefore, I contend that this article fails the notability standard and also, given the focus on one event (the suspension) when you consider the sources, also fails WP:BLP1E.

delete Seems to be a pretty reasonable WP:BLP1E deletion (and for a pretty routine E at that). The only thing weighing against deletion is he also had an almost notable court case against a board member of a swim club. Sailsbystars (talk) 01:13, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Clear (negative) BLP1E. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 03:15, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Coaching the Canadian national swimming team and being named national coach of the year seem like enough to show notability. I'll admit the only source I could find for these was in a legal document, but that seems valid enough.204.126.132.231 (talk) 15:52, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:PRIMARYSOURCES, no, a legal document doesn't cut it. Bearcat (talk) 00:41, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a negative WP:BLP1E. No prejudice against recreation if somebody can find enough reliable secondary sources about him to write a balanced version that doesn't place so much WP:WEIGHT on the negative details. Bearcat (talk) 00:41, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
