The only thing IMHO that might make this person truly "notable" is when he was named the Gatorade New York Boys' Basketball Player of the Year. However, I counter that with saying there are 50 boys and 50 girls every single year that earn that distinction, but just winning that award alone does not make any of them inherently notable...and neither does the fact that he plays at a Division I institution. Most of the coverage is via Syracuse University press releases. Jrcla2 (talk) 22:10, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It doesn't help that the article is full of speculation and editorializing Vartanza (talk) 03:04, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Triche is the starting point guard at not just any institution, at Syracuse University, which was #1 for a short time in the polls last year. While he did not put up impressive averages, keep in mind that Coach Boeheim does not play freshmen a lot unless their name is Carmelo. If you are a starter at one of these big-name schools, that almost guarantees a professional contract in Europe if not the NBA. He was named to the all-Freshman team, joining the likes of John Wall and Avery Bradley. I think notability is a no-brainer. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs/editor review)}~ 01:20, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete At this time he doesn't meet even the very liberal standards of WP:SPORTS. If he does go on to play professionally, an article can be created about him at that time. --MelanieN (talk) 19:55, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- All indications are that he will play for pay somewhere. Also, he satisfies WP:Basketball by winning major awards. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs/editor review)}~ 21:56, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - WP:CRYSTAL (what if he blows out a knee cap or gets paralyzed in a car crash?); and what awards specifically make him inherently notable? Jrcla2 (talk) 22:02, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - His accomplishments make him inherently notable, but he was named to the Collegeinsider.com freshman all-america team. Look, let's keep this article as is and if he doesn't go pro in 4 years, then renom. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs/editor review)}~ 22:55, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - His accomplishments do not make him inherently notable. Also, CollegeInsider.com is not recognized by the NCAA as an official award giver, which is why none of their plethora of awards is included in the annual NCAA men's basketball media guide. Just because www.iamawebsite.com names someone to a team award doesn't mean they're inherently notable. Also, there's way too much "let's just keep it anyway" mentality on WP. There's a reason there are standards for inclusionism, and Triche doesn't cut it. Jrcla2 (talk) 23:00, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        Collegeinsider.com sponsors its own postseason tournament and is well known in the world of college sports. The core tenet of WP:N is for significant sourcing independent of the subject, and I could easily find that on Triche. And that, by the way, trumps any notability guideline out there. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs/editor review)}~ 23:19, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
