Mr. Basketball of Michigan

This article relates not to a professional sport but to a relatively minor high school sporting competition. It's notability and inportance are minor and does not appear to meet notability guidelines. Delete Gillyweed 21:09, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * keep - The article documents to the award that is given to the best high school boy's basketball player in the state of Michigan, as voted on by media throughout the state. The fact that the award is not for a professional sport does not matter, as there are thousands of articles about college and high school sports and awards on Wikipedia.  The article is also on a noteworthy subject as it is describing a 26-year old award that thousands of high school boy's basketball players strive for each winter.  There are also similar articles for other states: Illinois Mr. Basketball, North Dakota Mr. Basketball, Iowa Mr. Basketball, Kentucky "Mr. Basketball". X96lee15 22:11, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per X96lee15. Just because it's not for the NBA or NFL doesn't mean it isn't notable. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 04:29, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
