beats me how an assistant coach in a B league sports team is considered a notable individual on a world scale. Are we opening pages for assistant bank branch managers? Sports enthusiasts are perfectly entitled to be enthusiastic in recording every nuance of every sporting activity worldwide but Wikipedia is for recording matters of note, not satisfying all the needs of sports hobbyists 12:53, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * I have no opinion on the notability of this, but for what it's worth, B.League is Japan's top basketball league and the team he is the assistant coach of is in its top division. "B.League" here does not mean "below A League". Dekimasu よ! 13:08, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment This is a rather poorly reasoned AfD. Firstly, the nominator seems to mistake the 'B' in the name of the league for it to be some kind of a second-tier league when in fact the B.League is the top-tier professional basketball league in Japan. Secondly, the nominator focuses on the subjects current job, that of an assistant coach, and overlooks the fact that the person is a former professional player who has worked as a head coach. Now, the article is very poorly sourced and it may very well be that Mr. Nema does not pass WP:GNG but this kind of a shoddily done AfD irks me. On a further note, a proper procedure would be for the nominator to do a WP:BEFORE, including a search in the subjects native language, and then display his findings, or lack of them, in the AfD. -- Dammit_steve (talk) 11:09, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
