Delete. Poorly sourced

WP:GNG pass. First discussion was far too strongly influenced by the "notable because the campaign is currently underway" argument, which consensus has much more unequivocally quashed in the 2010s. Bearcat (talk) 17:21, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply

Keep. The strongest claim to notability here may be that Abbott was the athletic director (not just with an interim status) of an NCAA Division I school. I see plenty of news coverage about Abbott to establish notability. Jweiss11 (talk) 12:31, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Not sure what the nom is talking about, hes a notable AD and politician. Enough sources for GNG pass. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 14:29, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As per EDDY. I just counted 14 inline citations, all retrieved in 2010, so this hardly constitutes a "poorly sourced WP:BLP". Unscintillating (talk) 02:22, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Jweiss11 and Eddy, above, as a

WP:GNG pass. Ejgreen77 (talk) 03:06, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply
