Delete Fails WP:GNG with no significant coverage from multiple, independent sources. The coverage is trivial stats, routine mention, or from sites with a relationship with LaBoy (e.g. league or team sites).—Bagumba (talk) 01:30, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep DO YOUR RESEARCH ON ROBERT LABOY AND PAGE CLEARLY CITES SOURCES THAT SHOWS HE IS A PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL PLAYER AND HAS A EUROBASKET PROFILE WHICH SHOWS ALL INFORMATION FOR PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL PLAYERS . LABOY ALSO HAS MANY PROFESSIONAL ACCOLADES IN PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL LEAGUES. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FIBACHINA14 (talk • contribs) 05:27, 14 November 2014‎ (UTC)[reply]

Only problem is he's never played above semi-pro level so doesn't meet WP:NHOOPS. Very little information available on him, so doesn't meet WP:GNG.LionMans Account (talk) 15:20, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete doesn't meet GNG. None of the sources in the article are independent. Rikster2 (talk) 23:57, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NHOOPS and WP:GNG. Note he played in the other ABA, not the one that passes.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 01:03, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Non-notable minor league basketball player. Subject does not satisfy the specific notability guidelines for college athletes per WP:NCOLLATH (no major awards, etc.), nor for professional basketball players per WP:NBASKETBALL (never played in a regular season game in a major pro league), and there is insufficient significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources to satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG.
