 * Comment Failing WP:NBASKETBALL is not grounds for deletion, the real question is whether he fails WP:GNG. Was a search for sources, preferably including in the Ivorian media, conducted before the nomination per WP:BEFORE? Alvaldi (talk) 17:46, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Coverage of sports below the top level of the sport in question, will usually be trivial and therefore fail WP:SIGCOV. Geschichte (talk) 18:01, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * No, that is just incorrect. There are countless of athletes, basketball players or others, who receive plenty of significant coverage despite failing WP:NBASKETBALL or WP:NFOOTBALL or any of the other sports-specific notability guidelines. WP:NSPORT, which WP:NBASKETBALL is a section of, clearly states in its own FAQ that failing one of the SNG's is not grounds for deletion as all subject, reglardless of whether they pass a SNG, have to pass the general notability guideline. Maybe Abraham Sie doesn't pass WP:GNG and if you would have nominated him for failing WP:GNG after being unable to find sources I might have voted delete. But not bothering to conduct a WP:BEFORE on a subject from a non-english speaking country (to prevent a WP:BIAS) who has played for his national teams and professionally in two top-tier national leagues is not good practice.

 * Keep I'm finding some sources, for example    so I feel he meets GNG. Playing for a national team is certainly a plus. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 00:42, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep: Sie is both a national team player and plays in the Basketball Africa League, which is an important and relevant league. --H-Hurry (talk) 19:38, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
