Keep By simply looking at who he plays for he plays for a team in a professional league Seasider91 (talk) 13:41, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment No, he does not play in a professional league. He currently plays for the Coburg Giants in the Big V D2M – that is not a professional league, it's not even semi-professional it's so far down the Australian basketball tier (4th league down in Australia basketball i.e. 1. NBL 2. Big V 3. Big V D1M 4. Big V D2M). He has not played professional basketball! DaHuzyBru (talk) 17:34, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The team it appears he is signed with isn't one that suggests notability. The first division NBL in Australia does, but this league appears several rungs below that. Additionally, I don't find significant sources to meet WP:GNG when I search, which makes WP:NBASKETBALL moot anyway. Rikster2 (talk) 18:08, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Exactly, it's baffling why this article was created in the first place. DaHuzyBru (talk) 18:46, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
