Weak delete. Vescovi played in the Korean Basketball League, which is the top national professional league in Korea. However, the sourcing is very thin otherwise. —C.Fred (talk) 20:24, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This article is complete mess. More importantly, I find no significant coverage in reliable, independent sources that would get this past WP:GNG. Cbl62 (talk) 20:26, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment If this gets deleted, I recommend salting it because the creator has been constantly removing maintenance tags and the AfD link from the article over and over, despite numerous warnings. It seems highly likely that the user will try to recreate the article even if consensus is to have it deleted. Jrcla2 (talk) 21:50, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, check out the article's edit history. This disruptive editing indicates a high probability the user will re-create the article. Jrcla2 (talk) 00:43, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above - No evidence of any notability. –Davey2010 • (talk) 22:44, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and salt per above. No independent sources to verify his playing in KBL, doesn't satisfy WP:GNG otherwise. Article creator has just earned a one-week block for removing AfD tags from this article immediately after the expiration of a 24-hour block for the same activity. --Finngall ^talk 00:45, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Non-notable basketball player. Fails specific notability guideline for not having played in top-tier league per WP:NBASKETBALL, and lacks significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources sufficient to satisfy general notability guidelines per WP:GNG. SALT per Jrcla's comment above. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 01:44, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
