 * Keep Meets GNG. Not surprising, since he represents his national team. Google search for his name plus basketball returns over 15000. This seems to be part of an attempt to purge the encyclopedia of Asian basketball players.Jacona (talk) 15:22, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment. Can you please provide links to where the subject meets GNG? Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 19:39, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment Can you please provide some sort of evidence that you bothered to follow WP:BEFORE before twinkling up about a dozen AfD's of Asian athletes, (including 3 in an eight minute stretch) today? It doesn't take long for you to put a mass of articles on AfD, but each one eats up a bunch of time for other editors on AfD. Is your strategy to nominate so many articles in a short time so that the community doesn't have time to research them? If so, I think you're doing a good job, so long as the community puts up with this abuse. It takes me a lot longer than 8 minutes to in good faith determine whether any one of these articles meets gng in good faith, and you've made the determination on a batch. Did you look for non-English sources?  Did you even read the sources on the first few google hits? hmmm. Jacona (talk) 23:27, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Off course, you cannot answer the question at hand! Give me a break, this is far from abuse. In case you have not noticed, biographical articles by Bds69 have been mostly deleted after nomination. There is a clear lack of GNG to justify them. It doesn't take long to research if an article has GNG sources, especially if you are looking in batches of articles at one time (which is what I do for most of the time). The first few hits on this subject do not demonstrate GNG. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:48, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
 * How much time did you spend looking for non-English sources? Jacona (talk) 01:01, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Fact check: As of this moment, Bds69 has created 336 pages, of which only 8 (2.4%) have been deleted.Jacona (talk) 21:00, 14 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep Ample Google results to demonstrate GNG, and undoubtedly many more foreign language ones. Seems like a clear case of WP:BIAS and a lack of WP:BEFORE to me. Smartyllama (talk) 12:34, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets GNG with sources such as this. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs ) ~ 15:53, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
