 * Delete I only declined the speedy because I believed he had played in proper NBA. He hasn't, so fails WP:GNG and WP:NBASKETBALL. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:26, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep The article as it stands is not great, but I can find sources to establish this passes GNG. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs ) ~ 22:01, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep I have expanded the article, I would say it meets GNG. DaHuzyBru (talk) 08:09, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets WP:GNG. For establishing notability, non-independent coverage is usually ruled out such as his school's website (GoTigersGo.com), and his conference's (ConferenceUSA.com). I usually wouldn't use NBA.com either, though they claim to be independent. Still, in addition to significant coverage already in the article from Memphis Commercial Appeal, 247Sports.com, and CBS Sports,  I also found online ones from SportsNet New York ("Geron Johnson to Memphis"), NBC Sports ("Memphis adds risky, former top 100 JuCo transfer Geron Johnson"), and Sporting News ("Memphis’ Geron Johnson suspended for impermissible benefits").—Bagumba (talk) 08:29, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment I just want to point out, I was just filling out that article with content in a "generic" way that I sometimes do with articles in terms of college info. And the best way to do that is with official bios, which I know is a primary source. Those additions by User:Editorofthewiki were great, so it should certainly meet GNG now.

 * Keep I believe with the new sources he meets GNG. Rikster2 (talk) 09:39, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
