The league he plays in does not grant default notability. The sources are not substantial enough to establish notability. John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:06, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - his team played in Euroleague competition last year which is expressly named in WP:NBASKETBALL. The player was also on Croatia's Olympic team last year (so he also meets WP:NOLYMPICS). Article does need sources, but the subject is notable and meets the sport-specific guideline. Here are his Euroleague statistics as proof that he has played at this level of competition.

Comment - Does this really need additional discussion? The nominator's position that the player does not meet WP:NBASKETBALL is not correct (link to Euroleague stats above), and as noted he also meets WP:NOLYMPICS. I'm not sure what further discussion is required. Rikster2 (talk) 15:37, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: per Rikster. p b p 14:58, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep as he plays internationally and his league is fully professional. The article must be improved, but he is a notable player. Asturkian (talk) 16:24, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. WP:NOLYMPICS should be sufficient by itself. GregorB (talk) 17:26, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep Wikipedia:Articles for deletion discussion guidelines states in oldid=765333697,

If the reasons given in the deletion nomination are later addressed by editing, the nomination should be withdrawn by the nominator, and the deletion discussion will be closed by an admin. If the nominator fails to do it when you think it should have been done (people can be busy, so assume good faith on this point), leave a note on the nominator's talk page to draw their attention.

Keep. Meets WP:NBASKETBALL and WP:NOLYMPICS. Ejgreen77 (talk) 15:34, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
