Rodney Williams (basketball)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails NHOOPS: never drafted, played one(?) game in the NBA Summer League, and has only played on D-League teams since then. If the Summer League counts towards "played in a professional league" then I will retract this nomination. Additionally, the references given are almost entirely stats pages, with very little in the way of substantial coverage. Primefac (talk) 23:41, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Fox Sports and Twin Cities are pretty substantial. Not all the sources are stats. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs ) ~ 02:21, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I didn't say all of the sources were stats. The issue is that Fox is a one-sentence mention and Twin Cities is a blog. Primefac (talk) 02:26, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Heres two more sources from the St. Paul Pioneer Press: 1 and 2. He's notable. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs ) ~ 22:34, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * That's a local newspaper reporting on their local college team. They're reliable, sure, but I have often seen it (successfully) argued that "only local coverage" does not demonstrate notability. Primefac (talk) 02:37, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep Fox Sports and Twin Cities coverage just pushes him through NHOOPS
