The article doesn't even try to suggest there's anything notable about this player. Fails WP:NCOLLATH, WP:NHOOPS and WP:GNG with coverage only from some local newspapers. Axolotl Nr.733 (talk) 11:00, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question. One of the sources (here) states that Legan was the leading scorer and "most lethal player" in the Queensland Basketball League during his rookie season. Can someone clarify the level of competition at which the QBL plays? Cbl62 (talk) 01:46, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Well, I can only judge from what I find via web, but its part of a multi-league association comprising a total of 61 teams (Australian Basketball Association). Legan's team plays its home games in an "arena" that, according to this article, holds about 300 (three hundred) people. Axolotl Nr.733 (talk) 06:40, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Nothing shows notability and no significant coverage. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NHOOPS. Jakejr (talk) 03:52, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Non-notable minor league basketball player. Subject is not entitled to a presumption of notability per WP:NBASKETBALL (never played in a top league; QBL is a developmental league), and coverage is insufficient to satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG.
