Fails WP:NBASKETBALL and WP:GNG. Played a measily 27 minutes in 2016 for Bahamas national team and seems to not be playing anymore. Kline | vroom vroom 19:00, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

D'Lete per nom. He played in Iraq too, but that's about it for coverage. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:33, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He passes WP:GNG with the sources now in the article. On a sidenote, he may have "Played a measily 27 minutes in 2016 for Bahamas national team" but as the article clearly stated, he played in the 2022 FIBA AmeriCup qualification and is considered a key player for the games expected to be played in 2021.[1] Alvaldi (talk) 21:23, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep As mentioned above, he clearly passes WP:GNG. He played much more than 27 minutes but is just a side note...please check the facts more thoroughly. In fact, whether he still plays or how many minutes he played is irrelevant as it has nothing to do with wikipedia's notability criteria. Stephreef (talk) 10:34, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep Just enough sources to justify passing GNG. He doesn't meet notability from strict NBASKETBALL standards, but that guideline is more about the specifics of a ball player rather than overall notability. SportsGuy789 (talk) 20:06, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
keep Passes GNG. Niceguylucky (talk) 08:47, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
keep. Agree with above, he just passes WP:GNG. Alex-h (talk) 17:28, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the alleged GNG "pass" is with a lot of low quality coverage and should not be allowed to overcome the total and complete failure of the basketball notability guidelines.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:07, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He definitely passes WP:GNG.Reagan1987 (talk) 18:10, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
