Being a former member of the Globetrotters does not bring automatic notability like an NBA player or another of an equal caliber. Sealy would need to meet GNG which he clearly fails to do. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 01:39, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - I would argue that Globetrotters players of that era probably should bring automatic notability like the NBA, but that doesn't matter for Sealy since he played in the National Basketball League, which is a precursror of the NBA and does confer automatic notability . 13:14, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
