Contested PROD. Subject does not meet WP:NBASKETBALL, WP:NCOLLATH or WP:GNG. No sources on article are independent/reliable. Perhaps will someday receive the coverage needed to meet GNG, but a WP:BEFORE search doesn’t indicate this is the case yet. Rikster2 (talk) 18:32, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

I added another source I think is reliable also ESPN should be a reliable sense it is one of the biggest in the sports news industry’s and it fits the reliable source credentials. If there is anything else please let me know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by UNC2 (talk • contribs) 19:22, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Sure ESPN is reliable. But you posted his recruiting profile which literally every D1 player has in there - that is not substantial coverage. Rikster2 (talk) 19:26, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

Isn’t Albany Times Union News a reliable source. UNC2 — Preceding unsigned comment added by UNC2 (talk • contribs) 19:46, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
 * It’s routine coverage. Again, anyone who signs with a D1 school is going to get a short blurb in their hometown paper. That’s not “Gained national media attention as an individual, not just as a player for a notable team“ like WP:NCOLLATH states. Rikster2 (talk) 19:49, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

There is nothing I can do so if you have to get rid of it you can. Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by UNC2 (talk • contribs) 20:02, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:NCOLLATH. Simply being a member of a top college program isn't enough to establish notability and his actual, non-primary source, coverage is not out of the norm. Best, GPL93 (talk) 14:22, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG with lack of significant coverage from multiple, independent sources. Does not meet WP:NCOLLATH.—Bagumba (talk) 09:57, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree it fails WP:GNG and WP:NCOLLATH. Brian (talk) 07:36, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - he appears to be a common college athlete. Perhaps it's just too soon. FWIW, I have been an op-ed contributor to the Albany Times-Union. Bearian (talk) 17:30, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
