Semi-advertorialized and completely unreferenced biography of a basketball player and entrepreneur, not making any strong claim to passing our notability standards in either field. He has not played in any league that is listed in WP:NHOOPS as granting players an automatic presumption of notability, so his notability depends on being able to clear WP:GNG on his sourcing -- but there aren't any sources here at all, and while there used to be a couple in an older version of the article there weren't enough: the only genuinely reliable source present at all, in any prior version of the article, just glancingly mentioned his existence without being about him in any non-trivial sense. There's simply nothing stated here that's "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced much, much better than this. Bearcat (talk) 20:57, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:GNG. Claims of 5-star Recruiting ratings out of HS are not backed up by any sources. The article claims he won the Argentine Liga Nacional de Básquet with Bahía Basket. While he seems to have been at least on trial with Bahía during the summer of 2019, I can't find any evidence that he actually played anything other than pre-season games. Furthermore, Bahía has never won the Liga Nacional de Básquet. I can't find any record that he played for BC Brno but he did appear in one game for the BSC Fürstenfeld Panthers during the 2019-2020 season in the second-tier Austrian league Alvaldi (talk) 23:59, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete As per all fails WP:GNG. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sliekid (talk • contribs) 18:47, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Several dubious claims in the article history. If he was truly in the ESPN Top 100, that would be abundantly clear from a Google search. Most of the articles on the internet look like paid promotional pieces, rather than traditional journalism. Zagal e jo^^^ 01:33, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per all above. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NBASKETBALL. Ejgreen77 (talk) 04:26, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:GNG, WP:SNOW, and because I am still not convinced that EuroBasketball is a reliable source. Bearian (talk) 17:37, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails notability standards. Jenyire2 (talk) 07:39, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:GNG and falls incredibly short of an WP:NHOOPS pass. Best, GPL93 (talk) 14:25, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
