 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Delete Currently doesn't meet WP:NHOOPS. Has played for a national junior team but that doesn't prove notability. 204.126.132.231 (talk) 17:09, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep has played with Panathinaikos of the first-division Greek League this season - that clearly qualifies as a "similar league" to the Australian, Spanish and Italian Leagues listed under WP:NBASKETBALL. And in fact he played in this league at 14 and is the youngest player ever in this prestigious league. Rikster2 (talk) 22:33, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep The first division Greek league is definitely a mark of notability. I think that alone says he is notable outside of West Chester, Pa. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs ) ~ 01:00, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep He has played in top professional league in Greece, this season with Panathinaikos BC and previously with Peristeri BC - Greek League profile 2014-15 season and 2012-13 season  - Greek League, which is much more significant league currently and all time than league in Australia, and which is one of three biggest national leagues of all time in Europe, along with ones in Spain and Italy - Historical European national basketball league rankings. Also, is currently most significant national league in Europe after only the one in Spain - European national basketball league rankings.Bluesangrel (talk) 00:09, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * In fact, WP:NHOOPS should be altered to include the Greek League, since it is both all time and currently more significant than the league in Australia, and is all time one of three most important leagues nationally in Europe along with Spain and Italy, and is most important, in current time and for last several years more important and significant than the league in Italy.Bluesangrel (talk) 00:09, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Are you a user who forgot to sign in? It seems odd to me that an IP would have one edit and it is to weigh in on this AfD. Rikster2 (talk) 17:03, 26 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep Unlike his teammate Michalis Lountzis, he has played in an official match for one of Europe's major clubs. However, it should also be noted that there is a sharp contrast between the "big two" and the other teams in Greece (concerning level of performance, financial situation, attendance figures etc.). Currently, only one additional team from Greece takes part in a pan-European competition (PAOK Thessaloniki). So I'm skeptical if playing for any team of this league should be taken as an automatic pass to notability. --Axolotl Nr.733 (talk) 14:01, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
