Deletion of Robert Buntine

Comment: Fails , . We've got an obit in the Sydney Morning Herald that's clearly ''not'' a reliable source. When the SMH prints a news article about a recently deceased person, rather than an obit placed by a third party, they appear to carry the article in the mix with their other main articles. The dedicated obituaries page where this appears is within the SMH's "Comment, Opinion, Writers" section, which consists of opinion pieces, letters to the editor, and obituaries. This indicates that obits published in that section are reader-submitted, presumably paid for, and not subject to editorial oversight or journalistic writing in the same way that a main article would be, and therefore it's inappropriate to consider it a reliable source.  applies, rather than , because, while Buntine was a coach at Newington College, that school is a boarding school for boys, and not a post-secondary institution, which is the level of athletics NCOLLATH was designed to address. If we consider this either within the scope of GNG or NHSPHSATH, we have a case of a gentleman who does not have "significant coverage" in reliable sources

Comment: 1. WP:HEY is not merely about future prospects for an article; the essay is more about how it has been improved despite efforts to delete it. 2. Being the headmaster of not one but two prestigious prep schools (or as they call them Private_school#Independent_schools|independent schools in Australia) ought to mean something for notability. 3. Closing admin, this is not just a vote, but a ''discussion''. I plead guilty to having boring reasons to keep! 4. An obituary in a paper of record, if |it provides significant coverage can be sufficient, along with three or more other ("multiple") sources, to prove a dead person's notability ( requires higher standards, in effect). Some of the sources didn't mention him, so I'd seek |better sources. 5. If he had coached a single Olympian, I'd say, "meh", |run of the mill coach. However, he coached ''several'' future Olympians, which is notable in itself

Comment: fails  and . Buntine appears to have been an important person, but I don't think notable. As per above, the obit in SMH was written by collegues and is the main source of info. I think the article title sums him up: "beloved teacher". Not notable
