Disputed PROD. Subject fails WP:NHOOPS, and does not pass the GNG. A profile on NBA.com doesn't count as independent or secondary coverage for the purposes of GNG. The FIBA article is only one source, and the WaPo article is a trivial name-drop. It's not enough to hang a GNG pass on. I haven't located any other independent, in-depth, reliable sources about the subject. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 00:23, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * For someone who didn't play in the NBA, NBA.com is both independent and secondary.--TM 00:30, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * How does that work? He was in the NBA draft, he just didn't get picked. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 00:39, 10 May 2018 (UTC)


 * No, NBA.com is never going to be an independent source - its sole purpose is to promote the league and its events - including the NBA draft. Independent would be the St. Louis Dispatch or USA Today or NBC Sports or Sports Illustrated. If this guy passes WP:GNG, these types of sources should be relatively easy to find.

 * Comment- I agree with TM, per WP:GNG the NBA is a source for him to pass via notability, per nom. he fails WP:NHOOPS, but I would think of GNG rather. || Regards // 12LA 11:50, 10 May 2018 (UTC) Struck comment by block-evading sockpuppet Yunshui 雲 水  10:25, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep There seems to be a book about him, although I have no access. I was able to turn up a few news stories though. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs ) ~ 13:27, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
 * , anything published by Books LLC is a compilation of Wikipedia or Wikia articles and therefore can't be used as a source or an indication of notability. If you're going to vote keep with a claim that news sources exist, it's basic etiquette to link to them. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 10:20, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up, I did not know that and I will keep that in mind in the future. Striking my keep vote since most of the newspaper articles were routine anyway. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs ) ~ 17:38, 11 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete for failing WP:NBASKETBALL unless I'm mistaken. -The Gnome (talk)
