User:Novem Linguae Thanks. I gather you no longer have need for paraphrasing concerns. I believe he meets GNG. He has articles about him in multiple RSs - you can tell this by the titles alone in some of them. As you know, GNG requires "more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." And "multiple" (not three) "sources are generally expected." How many sources did you find that had more than trivial mention? Was it a "multiple" number of sources? And did you notice that he was both a national Olympic coach and a national Maccabiah Games gold medal winning coach? 2603:7000:2143:8500:48D5:23B6:F6ED:BE3F (talk) 08:28, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
Hey there. You're correct, I no longer have paraphrasing concerns, thank you for fixing that. Of the sources I evaluated, I did not find any that I evaluated as passing GNG. The problem was that they were not significant coverage of him. In each article, I was looking for around 3 paragraphs of biographical information specifically about him. In total, I was looking for 3 articles like that. Unfortunately I don't think coaches auto qualify under WP:NOLYMPIC. You are welcome to resubmit and see what a different reviewer thinks. –Novem Linguae (talk) 08:39, 26 April 2021 (UTC)


Thanks. User:Novem Linguae - If you look at the details of the detector results, you will notice that it is primarily due to names/titles and numbers. Which of course are neither a concern, nor subject in this context to copyright protection or concerns. Those are of course the teams he played for and coached, the leagues in question, and the dates in question. Anyway, the filter isn't being triggered anymore. 2603:7000:2143:8500:ACEF:6275:9933:F1BC (talk) 17:48, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
