Talk:John L. Simon

Notable?

AfD, anyone? Is this someone "known" enough to have a Wiki? Ssbohio 04:34, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

• Response: John L. Simon , better known as Jack Simon, has coached 6 US national teams, been part of the U.S. national coaching staff for over 20 years, past president American Swimming Coaches Assocation, coached > 75 swimmers into the top-25 in the world. The current Harvard swimming coach finds him notable enough to mention him as a mentor in his Harvard bio. So, while the article is definitely a stub, he is notable. This information is mentioned in the reference news article - though I would like to find primary sources. —ERcheck @ 05:10, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. I looked at the article & the links, & I wasn't sure, but you've convinced me. Based on the info as presented, he certainly seems notable in the swimming community, and, while I don't think that automatically makes him Wiki material, I bow to the subject-matter expert. I withdraw my concern.Ssbohio 22:17, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Marine?

I am removing the U.S. Marine category as I can find no references that indication he was a Marine. With citation, it is fine to add it back. — ERcheck (talk) 23:23, 15 June 2007 (UTC) For what it's worth, he did mention being a former marine on occasion.Tiggyboo (talk) 12:31, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
