Niles Malone

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NHOOPS and WP:GNG. The only non-trivial source on Malone I could find was Straight-shooting Niles Malone. Note that statlines, passing mentions, etc. are considered trivial. Runningibis (talk) 15:09, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep You forgot about this article. Meets GNG. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 16:22, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment That article by Lonzo Wire is entirely based on a piece by Fresh Sports Talk, a site run by a commentator paid by the JBA, so it technically isn't independent. Fresh Sports Talk is also unreliable, because most of its articles are simply puff pieces for LaVar Ball and his family and brand (examples:  and ). Regardless, only two articles covering a player that is otherwise not notable is probably not enough to warrant an article. Given that info, please provide some additional justification for your "keep" vote. Runningibis (talk) 18:07, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay, but just because it is based on the Fresh Sports piece doesn't mean you should discount it since it is an independent article- a secondary source based on a primary source. There were also several other LonzoWire articles and this article in La Voz News. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 13:15, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
 * The new article you brought up is essentially a game summary. The Lonzo Wire article would be good if they actually did original research, but it appears that they just summarized what the unreliable and non-independent Fresh Sports Talk piece said. There were no other Lonzo Wire articles that covered Malone in depth. Runningibis (talk) 13:59, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete I don’t see significant coverage to meet WP:GNG. Everything I see is routine (game summaries, etc) or non-independent. Rikster2 (talk) 23:01, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not meet WP:NHOOPS by playing in LaVar Ball's fledgling Junior Basketball Association. Fails WP:GNG with lack of significant coverage in multiple, reliable, independent sources.—Bagumba (talk) 08:49, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - not seeing significant coverage from multiple independent sources. Rlendog (talk) 15:41, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete The article fails WP:NHOOPS and WP:GNG due to lacking coverage from multiple independent and significant reliable sources. Passing mentions and stat lines are trivial and do not help meet any notability guidelines. Newshunter12 (talk) 13:19, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
