 * I haven't gone through all these to see how reliable or significant all these sources are, but a Google search seems to show an awful lot of coverage that would suggest a good chance he meets GNG. Rlendog (talk) 15:47, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
 * That's true Rlendog - there are a lot of articles written around his announcement that he'll skip college to prepare for the NBA draft, but my thinking was that WP:BLP1E would apply - and it's not ever really an event that's happened yet, it's an announcement (WP:BLP1A?) that he's planning to do something. I'm sure he's likely to do well in the draft and become notable soon, but it seems to be jumping the gun to carry articles about promising high school players.

 * I have expanded the article so that it should meet notability guidelines. Sportzeditz (talk) 15:22, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment high school basketball players or not, if they pass WP:GNG they are notable. -- Dammit_steve (talk) 08:09, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Question Sportzeditz it seems pretty clear that the subject does not pass WP:NHOOPS, but I agree that, if they pass WP:GNG then they would be notable. You've added a lot of sources to the article now, so I wanted to look over to see whether they would meet GNG - I clicked on 3 at random, and found one didn't mention the subject at all, one gave him a passing mention, and one was a profile at a recruitment agency which obviously isn't independent. Rather than read through all of the rest of them closely, I'd like to ask whether would you be willing to suggest the THREE best refs, in terms of reliability and significance of coverage, which demonstrate his notability.

 * Comment These three look fairly substantial   -- Dammit_steve (talk) 23:54, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing them out Dammit steve. I agree that they are indeed much more substantial than the ones I picked at random, and they may go far enough to satisfy WP:GNG. I've put a note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Basketball asking editors experienced in this area to comment here and hopefully generate a consensus.

 * Keep Sources are more than enough to meet WP:GNG. Contrary to another user's completely absurd assertions, neither high school athletes nor any other category of people are "inherently non-notable" and this shows a gross misunderstanding of policy.
