Apparently non-notable Phillipino basketball player, no awards or honors, no significant coverage in reliable sources. --Nuujinn (talk) 22:25, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No sources to be mentioned and non-worthy of a stub. Yankeefan233 (talk) 18:55, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - He's apparently played in the Philippine Basketball Association, which is a very popular national basketball league. G-hits aren't the only factor to determine notability. Jrcla2 (talk) 14:53, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, yes, Ghits are not a criterion, but we do need some sources to establish notability. --Nuujinn (talk) 15:08, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- Played at the professional Philippine Basketball Association. Retired in the early 2000s, and Philippine newspapers archives mostly go back only up to 2005 at the earliest. This will need some work in fetching sources but they're available offline. –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 16:53, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep – Assuming the Philippine Basketball Association is fully professional (as editors here and our article on it say; I personally don't have much knowledge about the league), he would meet WP:NSPORTS. That page doesn't explicitly mention the PBA, but there is an implication that players in such leagues are notable. Could use more sources, though.

Question, what source do we have that shows that he played in the PBA? --Nuujinn (talk) 23:48, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Here's one. As far as I can remember he also played in the now-defunct Metropolitan Basketball Association (think of it as the PBA's ABA at the turn of the century) but I may not be right on that. –HTD (ITN: Where no updates but is stickied happens.) 18:47, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Why is this at AFD? PBA satisfies the professional guideline. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs/editor review)}~ 17:26, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
