Player with no professional appearances, thus fails WP:NHOOPS after satisfying none of the other requirements. Also fails to satisfy WP:NCOLLATH. PROD removed for "played for USA basketball team", however he has not appeared for the senior national team. GauchoDude (talk) 23:17, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He did played professionally, for ~10 years in New Zealand, and was a three-time New Zealand National Basketball League "Most Outstanding Forward/Center" ([1]). Here is a brief write-up of him as a collegiate athlete in the New York Times, this and this are two feature articles about him in college in the Los Angeles Times, and here is a Salina Journal article about him. All of those references took me 5 minutes to find. Jrcla2 (talk) 01:44, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: My error on him not playing after college. If the NBL (NZ, not Aus) was professional at the time he played, then that would satisfy. "The New Zealand National Basketball League began in 1982 in response to a need for consistent and quality competition on a semi-professional basis ..." is mentioned here, which is a slight cause for concern. GNG does, however, supersede and if it's found that he's notable through those means, then you can certainly add those sources to his article. GauchoDude (talk) 13:21, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not passionate about the player, so I may or may not get around to adding the references. Regardless of whether I do, he is still notable and a cursory WP:BEFORE would have found that. Jrcla2 (talk) 17:24, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
