All-Europe Player of the Year

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Delete:Despite the glossy title this is just a selection by a sports website, Eurobasket.com, which itself struggles with notability (though to be fair it is a popular basketball website) similar to the end of season All-whatever selections of thousands of websites. It has no notability beyond the website itself (most awardees don't aknowledge the "distinction") with the lack of coverage to boot.}} ArmstrongJulian (talk) 14:54, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Every media outlet sets awards, no evidence Eurobasket's carry any extra weight/notability. Rikster2 (talk) 18:31, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. No extra weight for EuroBasket awards. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs ) ~ 20:41, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep The person nominating the award is doing so simply because they are mad at me and I created the article and they want these deleted. Look at my talk page and you can see that. I don't like to have to say that, but it is clear.Bluesangrel (talk) 22:56, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
 * My problem with this article, and indeed a number of your edits, is that it doesn't answer wikipedia's notability requirements, do us all a favour and try reading the official policy that determines what should be on the site. You keep making contributions (and I use the term loosely) that are unsourced (again read the guideline) and make unsupported claims, this is not a forum or fan page but a website that aims for a certain standard yet you keep editing and acting as if it was the former. --ArmstrongJulian (talk) 19:34, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Except that all my articles, including this one are sourced, and I am making no such edits as a "fan page". And I read the criteria and this article meets the standard. You simply put it up for deletion because you are mad at me, just because I asked you why you were changing dozens of articles height parameters.Bluesangrel (talk) 15:26, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, are you not supposed to notify people when you mark their articles for deletion? I thought that you are? ArmstrongJulian marks several articles for deletion, but never gives a notice to the creator of the article that they were marked for deletion. I thought you were supposed to do that.Bluesangrel (talk) 01:24, 14 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:LISTN. No evidence of independent reliable sources that discuss this grouping. Granted, I might not find these on English websites, and also wouldn't know which ones are reliable. This is the difficulty with dealing with potentially notable subjects covered in predominantly non-English sources. However, no persuasive arguments have been forthcoming either.—Bagumba (talk) 01:04, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
