Questions

[edit]

What "notable" players did he coach? Who broke his wins record? When was his second indefeated season? FloridaArmy (talk) 06:09, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • @FloridaArmy: Added his undefeated seasons; the coach who passed him as Dan Ritter (see here (source paywalled)); as for "notable" players, several articles made it seem like he had prominent players, though I note many listed (see later in post) do not have articles. Do you think there'd be a better word than "notable". This article has a list: "Bill Lewis, now a health officer for the Wilmington Board of Health, played on Morgan College's great team ... Willard S. Jones ... Lacey Jackson, all-CIAA end; Millard Naylor Jr., starred at Johnson C. Smith ... Wendell Brown, played at Lincoln; Gator Lewis was a kicking and passing ace at Maryland State ... in basketball and baseball: Smut Johnson, Moose Clark, Winny Ford, Edd Loper, Joe Redding, Big John Benson, and Joe Ward". I also saw a mention somewhere of him coaching judge Leonard L. Williams, who seems pretty prominent and probably deserving of an article. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:09, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Moved to mainspace by BeanieFan11 (talk). Self-nominated at 23:38, 4 March 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Millard Naylor; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Unknown
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - I'll focus on ALT2, as it seems the most interesting. The part "could only play out-of-state opponents" does not appear to be supported by the current sources. It's not definitive that there weren't other black schools in-state that they played, even if they went outside for others.

QPQ: No - Not done
