Chad Kessler (basketball)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Not really sure on this one - a Newspapers.com search brings up what appears to be mostly routine college basketball coverage, mostly from the southeast where he played, but he did get drafted, albeit in a late round. I'm not sure regarding the notability especially given there's a bit of a WP:PROMO concern (reads like he's notable for being a doctor instead of a college basketball player.)

 * Comment I found a few good articles about him, two from the The Atlanta Constitution and one from the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, which is basically the same newspaper as it came to be with the merger of the Constitution and the Atlanta Journal. The AJC article does mention that he played in Australia. If the league he played in was the NBL, then there is possibility that there is something about him in Australian sources.

 * Keep given the sources linked to above as well as his professional career in Australia.--User:Namiba 17:53, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
 * A stats search of the NBL web site all-time statistics brings up no "Kessler"'s between the years 1986 and 1990, and I'd expect the Atlanta newspaper to cover a player from Georgia. The best article IMO is the third one, but I'm still not convinced this passes WP:N. SportingFlyer  T · C  21:04, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
