Deletion of Spencer Wood (sport psychologist)

Comment: The ESPN story is actually an AP report and while I don't think it's an outright paid article I'd say it is most likely a story pitched by whomever handles Wood's PR given the way it reads. I still think as whole the amount of coverage comes up a bit short of  and he definitely doesn't pass , this https://www.iceboxathlete.com/icebox-athlete-president-dr-spencer-wood-rehired-by-mlb-team-for-2nd-season/ press release from his company's website indicates he is contracted as a consultant on a part-time basis.

Comment: If the bulk of the discussion is centered around the resume nature of the article, and Wood does indeed pass notability in accordance with , would taking out the speaking engagements and his work with the D1 programs change this to a keep

Comment: I think people have adequately explained why this doesn't meet , which I think should take precedence over  (as with all specific notability guidelines). {{u|Praxidicae}}'s lovely table spells out why the sources don't confer notability

Comment: I am still undecided but I will say that I don't believe that Wood passes  as he does not appear an actual "coach" as the term is intended as part of the team's uniformed, in-game coaching staff and the fact that the Tigers https://www.mlb.com/tigers/roster/coaches don't even list him as a member of their coaching staff on their own website.

Comment: Bases . The article needs cleanup, but |that's not reason to delete. I also fail to see how the ESPN article can in any way be considered a "press release." The AP put it out. They normally are reliable and independent. That and the MLIVE articles are enough to get him past GNG as well

Comment: got coverage in Bluefield Daily Telegraph, ESPN and The Gainesville Sun. It has a lot of inline citations, so  is definitely not an issue

Comment: Doesn't appear to meet  and I don't believe he meets .  The official Detroit Tigers website does not list him as a coach, or even as a member of the staff.  Baseball is unique in that coaches and managers wear the same uniform as the players and there's no evidence Wood ever has.  Note that all of the coaches on the team's website are wearing uniforms in their pictures.  I think it is probably more correct to think of him as an outside consultant, just as teams have dentists and surgeons that they tend to recommend.  Articles about speaking engagements and some passing mentions do not show notability.  I tend to agree with Praxidicae's analysis of the sources
