Contested prod that I placed on the article. Even though this basketball player evidently plays for the Indonesian national team, which is not enough for inherent notability, a Google search reveals he doesn't pass GNG. The only websites that turn up (aside from this one, which only lists at-a-glance facts about him) are facebook, twitter, flickr and other mirror sites of the sort. There is no third party coverage, let alone substantial coverage that would be make him pass GNG. Jrcla2 (talk) 19:16, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Question Not my field, but why is playing for the national team not enough for notability ? DGG ( talk ) 17:29, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The reason is because Indonesia does not have a respectable national team in basketball. If someone plays for the US, France, Argentina, Spain, etc, they're inherently notable. Indonesia's basketball history is generally terrible. Additionally, this player does not pass GNG. If he had an article on the Indonesian Wikipedia, I might be more swayed to keep, but the lack of an interwiki on his own native language Wikipedia says a lot.
