Why do some losers insist on wanting to speedily delete pages without giving people a chance to enhance the article. Now, insted of having a life, I got to make up for someone not having one.--Bedford02:48, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If indeed this is true, then notability is beyond question: "In 2007, Jurich was selected national athletic director of the year." per A Bad Sign?, Pete Thamel, The Quad, New York Times, September 11, 2007
So Street & Smith called him national AD for 2007. NFL career (though brief). We've more than met any notability guideline. There's no A7 to be found here. Whoever reads this and can do, please remove the CSD tag. BusterD (talk) 03:50, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
First, remain civil. Also, the reason that articles are often tagged with speedy deletes is simple. If you create a page, you should include noability from the word go. Otherwise, a legitimate article such as this one can easily get mixe in with the usual assortment of spam.--NeoNerd14:45, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
