Sekou Niare

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable athlete. Article is referenced only by blogs, and the teams Niare is supposed to have played for don't seem to exist. (At least, they are not listed in the List of basketball clubs in France, which means that, even if the teams do exist, they are surely not at the top professional level required by WP:ATH.

 * Delete I don't see clear evidence that this guy has played professionally anywhere. Eurobasket.com doesn't seem to have a profile for him, and they're pretty comprehensive. He was never mentioned on any of the NBA Draft sites, and it's unlikely the Grizzlies were considering him over fourth-overall pick Mike Conley, Jr. Zagal e jo^^^ 20:11, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Perhaps of note, an article on Niare was deleted from the French Wikipedia in December 2012. (See the discussion here.)  The French Wikipedians couldn't find any sources about this subject either, and presumably would have access to French language sources not easily available to English speakers.

 * Delete as vanity article. The article was created by User:Sekouiverson, which hints that it might be him or a person closely associated with Sekou Niare. Nonetheless it still fails GNG. Jrcla2 (talk) 20:41, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
