Keep: Played in Philippine Basketball Association which I think falls under "or a similar major professional sports league" for WP:NHOOPS.RonSigPi (talk) 03:21, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think the PBA counts as a major league. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 18:13, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article cites multiple sources that are primarily about Cummings ([1], [2], [3], etc). Playing in the PBA and NBA D-League makes for a respectable hoops resume. One could make a case that the PBA belongs in WP:NBASKETBALL, since basketball is almost a religion in the Philippines and the league gets a great deal of media attention.

Keep - I agree with Zagalejo's reasoning. Meets GNG, even if by a hair. Rikster2 (talk) 04:17, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Is there anywhere that explains what is meant by "similar major professional sports league"? I assumed that PBA wouldn't qualify as it's a much lower caliber. Tchaliburton (talk) 04:26, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- no, there isn't. Efforts to replace it with more specific leagues have been stymied so it has been kept. But the PBA is a much lower caliber than what? Sure, the NBA but you could argue it's similar to the Australian NBL. But some of us are arguing he meets GNG. Rikster2 (talk) 04:44, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
