I'd have prodded since it seems a clear fail of WP:ATHLETE but these have a tendency of being controversial so here we are. It's a sentence, it's been tagged for notability since Sept 2007 and it says, "is an amateur basketball player currently playing for the City of Sheffield Saints". Does not appear to have played at the highest level, team is a red link so don't know if they're even notable. TravellingCari 15:14, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep The article claims (and this verifies) that he used to play for the Doncaster Panthers, who in turn played in the fully professional British Basketball League. Assuming that he hasn't been playing since 1985 (when the Panthers were in a lower league), this would qualify him for notability under WP:ATHLETE. Olaf Davis | Talk 17:19, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment but the article says, "The Panthers played out of the Doncaster Dome and competed professionally from 1993 to 1996 when the team withdrew from the league." Since I doubt he was playing professional ball from 13 -16 years of age, he didn't play for them when they were a professional team. TravellingCari  19:41, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * You're right, of course: thanks for correcting me. In that case delete since he doesn't appear to have played in a fully professional league. Olaf Davis | Talk 09:52, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * No worries, it confused me at first too. TravellingCari  20:40, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
