Aleksi Lepistö

Unable to find any reliable sources to verify the contentents of the article or judge notability. The article says that he played in Korisliiga, which I suppose would pass WP:NBASKETBALL, but that would be a stretch and I am unable to find a source to confirm that he played in the league and we don't even know what team he was on. His 'official website' is of photography, which the article lists as his hobby. The only Google News Archive hit is for a different individual. Does not meet WP:GNG.

 * Delete per nominator. No references in Finnish-language media either. Google search "aleksi lepistö" topo produces a few results but no basis for an article. --hydrox (talk) 00:39, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete after excluding other folks with the same name and Wikipedia mirrors (some of which are printed as books via Books LLC), I could find no sources for this article via Gweb, Gnews, Gbooks. --  j &#9883; e decker  talk  05:59, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I can't find anything to verify the info in the article, which is pretty much abandoned. Even if we found sources, the claims in the article aren't especially impressive. Finland isn't even ranked by FIBA, and it would be a big stretch to call all Korisliiga players notable. Zagal e jo^^^ 08:04, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Maybe when this article was created he passed notability guidelines, and there was even potential for him to become a good player at a top tier level. Since then, however, the article's been abandoned and this player doesn't seem to have done anything to justify his entry. Jrcla2 (talk) 13:12, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete does not meet WP:ATHLETE let alone WP:NOTABILITY from what I can find via searches. --  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 10:22, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
