 * Keep By simply looking at who he plays for he plays for a team in a professional league Seasider91 (talk) 13:41, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment No, he does not play in a professional league. He currently plays for the Coburg Giants in the Big V D2M – that is not a professional league, it's not even semi-professional it's so far down the Australian basketball tier (4th league down in Australia basketball i.e. 1. NBL 2. Big V 3. Big V D1M 4. Big V D2M). He has not played professional basketball! DaHuzyBru (talk) 17:34, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Delete The team it appears he is signed with isn't one that suggests notability. The first division NBL in Australia does, but this league appears several rungs below that. Additionally, I don't find significant sources to meet WP:GNG when I search, which makes WP:NBASKETBALL moot anyway. Rikster2 (talk) 18:08, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Exactly, it's baffling why this article was created in the first place. DaHuzyBru (talk) 18:46, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
