 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Declined prod. A list full of non notable players failing WP:NLIST and not covered in independent sources. LibStar (talk) 01:01, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

1. This article is not a 'Stand-alone' list, but a list of players with their information such as height, weight, date of birth, club, jersey number, etc. 2. Please see this section Notability The players as an individual contained in this article may not be notable, but the groups containing these players are notable. 3. Merging into the main article may be an alternative. Regpath (talk) 04:12, 10 December 2022 (UTC)


 * also fails WP:GNG, where is the coverage of these squads in third party sources? LibStar (talk) 04:50, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Strongest possible delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:LISTPEOPLE. The latter accepts that articles can be created if those included meet Wikipedia notability standards, which is not the case here. Also, non-notable people can be included if their inclusion is supported by reliable sources - WP:RS states Articles should be based on reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy., which is not the case here. FIBA organises the event so clearly is not an independent source. Article is essentially a mirror of content from FIBA so WP:NOTMIRROR applies. Since this article holds sensitive details for people not in the public eye (not to mention they are all minors too), I strongly request deletion per WP:NPF; exercise restraint and include only material relevant to the person's notability, focusing on high-quality secondary sources and also WP:DOB; With identity theft a serious ongoing concern, many people regard their full names and dates of birth as private. Wikipedia includes full names and dates of birth that have been widely published by reliable sources, or by sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object to the details being made public. Please, please consider these points and delete this article from Wikipedia. Thank you. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 12:00, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete for child protection and data privacy reasons, as U16 = children, and Wikipedia should not be re-publishing lists of non-notable children without any reliable secondary sources whatsoever conferring notability. Agree with comments made by Spiderone, and no, we should not be merging these lists into another article. Cielquiparle (talk) 10:51, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
