No evidence of meeting wp:athlete, unremarkable college career as a backup in a small school and the Belgian basketball league is not listed in WP:NBASKETBALL. A search for sources returns WP:ROUTINE coverage. Delete Pokerkiller (talk) 22:57, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: WP:NBASKETBALL includes "similar major professional sports league" as the ones named. I think the Belgian league fits. Arbor to SJ (talk) 00:57, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- But until the league is explicty mentioned as an exception, he needs to meet GNG which he doesn't. Nine games as a reserve in the top level league of Belgium a few years ago is not an exception. Pokerkiller (talk) 16:54, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I couldn't find much on him. Playing in the second tier Belgian league does not confer notability through NBASKETBALL, and his collegiate career was unremarkable. I am wikling to reconsider if someone can provide sources to show he passes GNG, but I'm just not seing them. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 21:51, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete He had little impact in college and as much coverage. Even searching the Belgian newspapers (and that's speaking French and with rudimentary knowledge of Flemish) turns up few results. The WP:NBASKETBALL issue is moot as all articles have to meet GNG whatever the guideline (which only assumes coverage). --ArmstrongJulian (talk) 21:19, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. I don't see sufficient independent, reliable sources to meet WP:GNG. Rikster2 (talk) 18:52, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
