~~Weak~~ Keep: Passes WP:GNG as there are multiple, reliable, independent sources about him, as well as others mentioning him. He seems to have been notable enough to have a documentary made about his life, as well as a few independent articles. crh23 (talk) 14:05, 4 April 2016 (UTC), Edited 19:21, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep Seems notable enough, meets WP:BASKETBALL ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 12:08, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Actually he does not meet WP:NBASKETBALL. This AfD will need to stand or fall on GNG. Rikster2 (talk) 12:15, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as I planned to comment earlier and this is convincing enough. SwisterTwister talk 04:08, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
