Antoine Howard

This article is more like a newsflash than a biography and contains only info on the subject's death. I'm hoping somebody will know more about it and improve. May the Force be with you! Shreshth91($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|) 09:00, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and cleanup per above. I think if someone spends more than one minute on this we could get a better bio of this pro streetball player. -- JJay 09:49, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, seems notable, but needs to be changed from a memorial to a biography. Starts off "It is our sad duty to share some news with you about a member of the AND1 family" and continues "...This legendary AND 1 Mix Tape Player" which led me to believe he was a musician, until I found out from Google that he plays something called streetball. At the very least it should say what he did. Since the author is still working on it I'm inclined to leave it alone and clean it up when it looks like he's done. --Last Malthusian 13:19, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

This AfD is being relisted to generate a clearer consensus. Please add new discussion below this notice. Thanks! --Ichiro 00:29, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. See WP:NOT. Specifically "Subjects of encyclopedia articles must have a claim to fame besides being fondly remembered by their friends and relatives." Googling "Antoine Howard" finds essentially nothing on him other than memorials and notices of his death, almost all of which use the exact same wording used in this article. I'm not convinced he was notable before his death. Crunch 02:16, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
