LiAngelo Ball

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Meets neither WP:GNG nor WP:ATHLETE. Was deprodded with "He is the middle brother of the very notable Ball Brothers. His brother Lonzo has a page and even his younger brother LaMelo". None of which goes to notability.  Onel 5969  TT me 01:01, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep He hasn't received quite the coverage that his brothers Lonzo and LaMelo have, but there are still plenty of reliable sources available about him. If this article is expanded and more sources are added then it could be notable enough. TempleM (talk) 02:29, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Lonzo Ball or delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NBASKETBALL. He is the brother of star college player Lonzo Ball.  Looking at the coverage, the vast majority mention his brother, which makes me wary of WP:INVALIDBIO and WP:NOTINHERITED.  I'd have less concerns if LiAngelo was an elite high school player, but he's only rated a 3-star (out of 5) college recruit, and hasn't received All-American recognition.  He will play at UCLA, so it's not far fetched he will get significant coverage in college.  At this time, I'd have to say this is too early. Aside: It's WP:OTHERSTUFF, but it's more likely younger brother LaMelo Ball is notable, even if LiAngelo isn't. —Bagumba (talk) 09:09, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Both of his brothers have articles, and LaMelo Ball is also a high school athlete. They are known nation-wide.  Spike789    🇺🇸   19:14, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Lonzo Ball per above. This is often done with non-notable individuals related to notable ones. Smartyllama (talk) 14:50, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - has received adequate coverage to meet GNG - just in the past few weeks there have been articles about him from USA Today AND New York Post plus a little coverage in Forbes. Rlendog (talk) 19:14, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
