This article is about a basketball player that plays in a semi-professional league, and lacks coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. As a basketball player, he does not meet notability in that sport. As for general notability, he is mentioned, as part of routine coverage but there is no substantial coverage about him.

 * Comment Note that his name is misspelled in the article title. It's Nielsen. . There's at least one substantial article about him here. I don't really follow British basketball, though, so I'm not sure how to judge his notability. He's not on the national team yet: . Zagal e jo^^^ 19:42, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:00, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - thanks for pointing out the spelling issue. The article title is spelled incorrectly but it is correct in the body text.  Reviewing recutls from searchiing with the proper spelling doesn't really boost up his notability enough to put him over the bar for me. -- Whpq (talk) 16:39, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Weak delete. To me it almost cuts it, but he hasn't done anything specifically noteworthy yet to warrant an article. Jrcla2 (talk) 00:10, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. The BBL IS the top league in the UK - but the UK has one of the lower standards of play in Europe.  He plays for one of the top teams - last year's league champ - but I just scanned a handful of game reports and he wasn't mentioned in any of them.  I say delete, but it raises a good question/test case about just which pro leagues make players "automatically" notable.  The top Greek, Spanish, Italian leagues are no-brainers - but what about Poland or Finland for example? Rikster2 (talk) 02:52, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
