Fails WP:NHOOPS and WP:GNG. Only potentially non-trivial mentions are Isom Butler: A lockdown defender and an improving scorer and four sentences in What to Expect from LaVar Ball’s JBA League. Neither articles are from a reputed source. Note that stat lines, passing mentions, etc. do not count as significant coverage. Also, Butler cannot be deemed notable because he was a nominee for the McDonald's All-American Game, as 48 other players in Southern California and countless more across the nation were nominated as well.

Delete I don’t see significant coverage to meet WP:GNG. Everything I see is routine (game summaries, etc) or non-independent. Rikster2 (talk) 23:06, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per my original PROD reason: "Does not meet WP:NHOOPS. Fails WP:GNG with lack of significant coverage in multiple, reliable, independent sources. Predominantly trivial mentions in sources." I am disappointed that Editorofthewiki, a long-time editor of lots of quality content, deprodded with the non-notable reason of "mcdonalds aa nominee".—Bagumba (talk) 06:27, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep in addition to the sources mentioned above, there are also several Press Enterprise articles and this Lonzo Wire piece. Re to Bagumba I was not stating that being a McDonalds aa nominee makes him notable, but it is a reason why it should not be prodded. This is the correct venue. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 01:08, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Editorofthewiki: The Lonzo Wire article, as well as all of the Press Enterprise articles, just mention Butler once and/or are game summaries. Your definition of "significant coverage" seems too broad. Runningibis (talk) 02:23, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It would have been more effective to give a plausible reason why the subject was notable when you deprodded, and attempt to avoid an AfD altogther. Alas, I still maintain that the coverage is not significant enough.—Bagumba (talk) 16:53, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

delete He definitely fails WP:NHOOPS and the coverage I find either isn't significant or is what I'd call routine sports reporting.Sandals1 (talk) 22:05, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article fails WP:NHOOPS and WP:GNG because there is a lack of sufficient significant reliable source coverage of him. Passing mentions and WP:ROUTINE game coverage do not establish notability, nor do the obscure sources mentioned above that did give him more of a focus in their content.
