Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gene Haynes
I want to explain the reasoning behind my vote in more detail. There seems little doubt that Gene Haynes has been an asset to his community.  However, every community has many people of whom that can be said, so that alone wouldn't seem to make him "encyclopedic". My comment on "local sources" was meant as a question/challenge to the editors who said the coverage was not local because he "got statewide and regional newspaper coverage" and "has been cited extensively in media sources beyond his local community."  It may also be worth reminding people that  says "Human interest reporting is generally not as reliable as news reporting" and  says "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability". High school football coaches and principals are rarely considered WP notable, regardless of duration
