Fails WP:BIO and WP:NSPORTS. Reed wasn't really a football coach (as a job): he was a student at the College who during his studies coached two regional games of the team, and that's his whole career. There is no reliable source giving significant attention to him: what we have is a database listing, a very passing mention, another passing mention in a primary source, and another very short mention in a book in a short section about his family. Nothing really about him, and why should there be? Looking for sources not in the article yet doesn't yield anything. Presumably there can be found some mentions in routine game coverage in local newspapers from the period, but nothing that would get him past the WP:BIO requirements.

Delete We have a New York Times article mentioning him. This is from 1892 and mentions him on the list of those who would edit the yearbook for Dartmouth College that year. I think we are all agreed that being on the production team for a college year book is not a sign of notability. There are lots of these early college football coaches who we should not have articles on.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:35, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Passes WP:GNG with sources in the article. Typical outcome for college football head coaches are to keep the article, especially for those that the highest level of the sport (which in 1892 is "college football").--Paul McDonald (talk) 04:17, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
