Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gene Keady coaching tree
I thank Clarityfiend for providing clarity above and listing the best sources for this article.  At the heart of this matter is whether "Gene Keady coaching tree" is notable; not Gene Cready, and not the individual members of the "tree."  Following the general notability guidelines per  and , that requires significant coverage of the "coaching tree" in multiple reliable sources as described in .  For purposes of establishing notability the sources must also be independent of the subject, which eliminates the Purdue basketball website.  The two best articles (''Indianapolis Star'' & ''Sports Illustrated'') listed by Clarityfiend are about Keady and his current job, with only incidental mentions of his coaching tree.  The only article directly on point (''News-Gazette'') is a smalltown paper in east central Illinois.  That's one reliable source in a small market with significant coverage; that's not a strong basis of notability under .  There may be other coaching tree articles worth saving (Bobby Knight, anyone?), but this is not it.  A simple list of the coaches in the tree can be incorporated into the Gene Keady article.  Otherwise, delete
