Contested PROD. Fails to meet notability guidelines as defined by WP:NBASKETBALL. In my opinion, fails overarching WP:GNG as all other listed references/citations are trivial mentions (e.g. signing with a team, leaving a team, etc.) with the exception of an interview which for me doesn't satisfy WP:SIGCOV. Upon a cursory search, I couldn't find any substantial sources to add to the article, whereas the PROD was removed because "It is highly likely that he will pass WP:GNG.". Looking for this discussion to address WP:NEXIST, and thus hopefully GNG, and preserve for the record. GauchoDude (talk) 19:22, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

• Keep Passes WP:GNG [1][2][3]. Dammit_steve (talk) 22:57, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
• Comment. A full professional basketball player like Sean Cunningham should not be prodded, also given the comments of nominator that he might pass the WP:GNG. gidonb (talk) 20:55, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

• Response from nom for @Gidonb: "A full professional basketball player" means nothing, otherwise that would have been specifically outlined by the experts in the subject at WP:NBASKETBALL as a notability guideline. In fact, they've specifically listed leagues there which could presume notability, none of which the subject has played in. Additionally, I made no claim in my statement that "... he might pass the WP:GNG" as the subject must have WP:SIGCOV which I don't feel he meets based off the search I did.
