Notability concerns. Most of the references are excluded for the purposes of notability by WP:YOUNGATH, and the local coverage of his signing with LaVar Ball's not-yet-extant league isn't sufficient. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 21:01, 12 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep: As creator of this article, the subject clearly meets WP:GNG and WP:YOUNGATH, as most of the sources listed go beyond WP:ROUTINE coverage, and not all of them are local. Only one of the sources mentions him signing with Ball's league, unlike what nominator has suggested. Toiletpaper101 (talk) 23:43, 12 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete Most of the sources seem to be routine coverage of a high school athlete. Of the nine listed sources, five sources are from the Chicago Sun-Times Prep Sports Editor and another from Max Preps (the others aren't national sources either). I'd need to see sources showing coverage from outside a local prep sports beat, particularly since the subject hasn't shown that a professional career at the highest level is beyond a doubt.

 * - Almost all of the sources are not "routine coverage of a high school athlete," with all of the Chicago Sun-Times articles going in great depth about the subject (not passing mentions), as defined by WP:NOTROUTINE. Apart from the Sun-Times, there are also several other sources listed that are not routine coverage. Toiletpaper101 (talk) 00:50, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep pass WP:GNG with multiple, independent, in-depth articles on the subject itself. WP:ROUTINE regards events and is thus immaterial to a biography.--TM 13:37, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
 * True. I think what people should be referring to WP:SPORTBASIC, which deals with routine coverage of athletes. But this subject looks like he may have more substantial coverage. Rikster2 (talk) 12:41, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets GNG with multiple reliable sources. It will be interesting to see the level of competition in the JBA though. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs ) ~ 14:08, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: While I do get some of the concerns at hand, especially since the only players that have actual articles at this point in time are LaMelo Ball of the Los Angeles Ballers and Semaj Booker (an article I created partially because of his interesting story as a runaway before entering LaVar Ball's new league) of the Seattle Ballers (and neither one of those teams have actual Wikipedia pages, let alone the other Junior Basketball Association teams, and that's including the fact that the Chicago Ballers article doesn't have the full roster ready yet), at the same time, if some of these players have substantial sources and material included like this one does, I say keep the articles up! – AGreatPhoenixSunsFan (talk) 03:53, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Addendum: As I wrote this earlier on, I didn't realize that there was also an article on Greg Floyd Jr. at that point in time, which also included a brief college stint as well. Still, it does help further the point I'm trying to make here (with the idea that the teams also need proper articles as well as some of the more notable players entering the JBA). – AGreatPhoenixSunsFan (talk) 19:25, 15 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep Passes WP:GNG and in any case WP:YOUNGATH does not apply because he's 18 and no longer in high school. Smartyllama (talk) 13:58, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
