Does not pass the guidelines for automatic notability outlined in WP:NBASKETBALL, nor does it independently qualify for WP:GNG. InsertCleverPhraseHere  22:05, 21 May 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete - does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NBASKETBALL. Rikster2 (talk) 14:49, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Chris Makris is a successful sports executive by holding both a NBA D League position and NBA Franchise. He also played in the NCAA Football and has an MBA. Des Mois Register, USA Today have articles about himBasketballfan12 (talk) 03:32, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The USA today article is a passing mention in an article about the Grizzlies, and the Des Moines Register article is a very short article, and while being admittedly about him, fails to represent significant coverage of Chris Makris.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  03:56, 4 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:GNG with lack of multiple sources of significant coverage. Per WP:WHYN, we need enough coverage so a whole article can be written, and multiple sources so that balanced coverage exists to meet WP:NPOV.  Note that I don't generally consider SB Nation, one of the sources cited in the article, to be a reliable source.—Bagumba (talk) 03:46, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Per Rikster2 and Bagumba's reasoning. A D-League GM is not a notable figure. DaHuzyBru (talk) 05:23, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for explaining it!Basketballfan12 (talk) 23:15, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as still nothing convincing of solid independent notability at all. SwisterTwister   talk  07:49, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
