 * Contested Prod. Article creator claims that Sedekerskis has played in professional leagues, even though it is clear that none of the competitions he has competed in is anywhere near the ones considered sufficient to meet WP:NBASKETBALL. However, I do agree that he'll probably meet those criteria in the future, so I'd suggest userfying the article. Axolotl Nr.733 (talk) 16:24, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

 * He already played in second-tier Lithuanian basketball league - National Basketball League. It definitely is a professional league with decent level professional players, which means he already is a professional basketball player and not an amateur. Sedekerskis also been a member of Lithuanian Under-16 team and was one of the team leaders. In 2013 he signed a professional long-term contract with Laboral Kutxa and due to his impressive performances in youth competitions, he will join main squad really soon. Without any doubt he is worth to have a Wikipedia page. -- Pofka (talk) 19:47, 11 May 2014 (GMT +2)

 * Delete Fails WP:NBASKETBALL. Article was created WP:TOOSOON.204.126.132.231 (talk) 15:24, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
 * He is considered as one of top European prospects of such age and already is known world-wide as he participated in Jordan Brand Classic and others competitions. Wikipedia rules are mostly adapted for USA/Australia, however Euroleague and Australia basketball league levels are just incomparable and it is unfair because I truly believe that some random Australian league player isn't better than Sedekerskis. -- Pofka (talk) 22:37, 15 May 2014 (GMT +2)
 * The key part is "of such age". Junior achievements don't show notability.  The IP is right when he says WP:TOOSOON.  He may become notable, but he's not there yet. Astudent0 (talk) 23:47, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Not every junior signs 6 year contract with one of the strongest Spanish team. He already is notable. -- Pofka (talk) 17:44, 18 May 2014 (GMT +2)


 * Delete Doesn't meet the notability standards for basketball players. Astudent0 (talk) 18:29, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
