Playing football for a national team doesn't give automatic notability, so neither does coaching. This manager is covered in passing mentions only, failing the WP:SIGCOV guideline. No lasting impact on Bhutan whatsoever, so fails WP:SUSTAINED (as well as informal essays such as WP:IMPACT/WP:10YT). I can't find anything else about him; not his age, where he is from, if he was a player himself, other managerial jobs etc. Simply put, Henk Walk is not biography material and being a name in a list at Bhutan national football team#Coaching history should suffice.

Delete Agree coverage is extremely scarce. Also being manager of a very small football country (Bhutans highest ever Fifa ranking was 159/211 not even during Walk's tenure which lasted for a single year, without any spectacular scores. I agree what is shown now does not suffice for notability. Arnoutf (talk) 21:47, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as above. Giant Snowman 15:27, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Bhutan national football team#Coaching history. Dutch amateur coach (I did find passing mentions), who was the manager of the Bhutan national team. This appointment was definately the high point of Walk's career. Sufficient for a redirect. To keep we would need more than passing mentions. gidonb (talk) 22:28, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect Success of the team should not have bearing here. Anwegmann (talk) 04:05, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Success does of course have bearing on match attendance, fan following and by extension media following, i.e. significant coverage. Geschichte (talk) 22:52, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
