The result was redirect to Didcot Town F.C.. Redirect rather then merge at this time; he's clearly not notable enough for his own article and the sources are all trivial. Black Kite 00:36, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Football player and manager who has not played or managed at a fully professional level; clearly doesn't meet the WP:ATHLETE guideline. There are a fair number of sources, but I don't think these satisfy WP:N as they are mostly trivial mentions; i.e. "Stuart Peace's men". Jmorrison230582 (talk) 08:22, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I was originally against deletion based on the assumption of notability that came with moving the team up through those promotions along with the decent amount of silverware. However, sources have not been provided to satisfy the general notability guidelines at this time. This is a perfect candidate for rescuing or recreating if someone wants to put the effort into finding the sources asserting that his work on improving the team is worthy of notice.Cptnono (talk) 08:52, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. He's done a good job, but at a very low level of the football pyramid. Fails WP:ATH (if it extends to coaches) and the general notability guideline. --Mkativerata (talk) 20:29, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: done a good job with his clubs but unfortunately fails both ATHLETE and the GNG. BigDom 20:01, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Neutral at this point, but leaning towards a weak keep. A Google News Search returns a number of results from the Oxford Mail about Didcot Town results mentioning Peace specifically ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5]), but these are all from local papers. However, there is coverage in the Telegraph ([6]), and from the BBC (for example Didcot Town manager Stuart Peace aims for consistency, Peace to stay as Didcot manager, Didcot want manager Peace to stay). The last two of those BBC stories deal exclusively with him and his managerial tenure. While he certainly doesn't satisfy WP:ATHLETE, a look through the Google results, especially those BBC stories, may well be enough to establish notability under the GNG. Even if this page gets deleted, I agree with Cptnono that this article should be userfied, as there seems to be some chance that he may eventually meet WP:ATHLETE. -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 05:53, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
