Bill Dushane
Not notable. ~ UDScott 13:13, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete, unless evidence of notability is provided. ~ UDScott 13:13, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Concur with UDScott. High-school coaches are not typically notable enough to merit WP or WQ articles, and rarely have quote material that can be sourced anyway. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 20:33, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. - InvisibleSun 07:56, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. - As seen by the Cinco Ranch High School (Wikipedia)article on Wikipedia, this person affects thousands of people. Also, notability and sources are confirmed by this  In addition, many wrestlers under Mr. Wikipedia:Notability (athletes)'s program have gained the title of being state ranked, a title of which only 12 wrestlers per year in the whole state of Texas may earn per year.  I ,having created the article, would not like to see this refrence removed, and would like for you to consider retthinking your votes. (Note, this vote,while formerly a "keep" was changed to a "delete")-
 * ThinkExist.com is an interesting quote site, with potential for being a reliable source for some quotes, as they have an editorial board and request sources. However, there are no sources provided for Mr. Dushane's supposed quotes as listed on the page cited by 69.22.28.117. Nor is there any evidence of notability provided there. Please read w:Wikipedia:Notability (people) for more information on exactly what we mean by "notability". Note that the auxiliary page on academics discusses how to separate notable and non-notable college professors, by their publications and broad fame within their fields of expertise. It doesn't even address high school teachers, who are generally considered unnotable unless they have a signficant presence in the general press. Likewise, the developing guidelines on athletes sets its low bar at college sports (many participants in which are not considered notable), so high school coaches fall below this line, too. Finally, Wikipedia is not a reliable source, as demonstrated by the fact that the information 69.22.28.117 presumably refers to in the WP "Cinco Ranch High School" article, under "Wrestling Program", was added by him less than an hour before the above posted comment. This information is completely unsourced. This does not mean this person isn't well-liked or respected; it just means we have no way of confirming anything said about him, making him an unsuitable Wikiquote subject. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:24, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

 * (Note)I'm the person who added the quotes, and I was unaware of any specific guidelines about notability, as I am kind of new to posting. I didn't mean any harm by adding the quotes, and didn't realize the specifics on notability and scourcing.  I probably should have read up more on the rules and guidelines of posting before I posted anything.  I just assumed that since there was a page about my high school, that a page about my coach would be a worthy topic.  So, after realizing that I am wrong, I would like to change my vote to a "delete".
 * Don't worry much about it; this is a common mistake. The notability requirement is similar to what you'd expect of a Bartlett's Famous Quotations or other print works. Failing to achieve this distinction is not a measure of the worthiness of the individual, but merely the documented fame of their statements. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:28, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
