I think the article lacks notability. I don't think ALL NBA basketball players deserve an article Tyw7 (Talk • Contributions) 13:09, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - It doesn't matter whether you think someone should have an article: he passes Wp:ATHLETE, and is therefore allowed an article. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess) | (talk to me) | (What I've done)  14:20, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: Passes WP:ATHLETE. Joe Chill (talk) 16:15, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Jess - all NBA athletes pass the hurdle.-- SPhilbrick  T  17:03, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep There is long-established precedent for keeping articles on all major league American athletes. Hood passes the general notability criterion anyway; see, , , , , , etc. Zagalejo^^^ 19:22, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Then add that to the article! -- Tyw7 (Talk • Contributions) 17:04, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I added a few refs, but I'm not going to expand the prose content on demand. We're allowed to have stubs. I might expand the article in the future, but I have higher priorities right now. Zagalejo^^^ 23:24, 21 December 2009 (UTC)


 * comment: By the way, you should have left this note at Downwards's talk page. He actually started the article. Zagalejo^^^ 19:24, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't know he's the orginal editor. Plus a bot has already notified him :D. -- Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 17:04, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
