I'm not sure there is no assertion of note in this (per the speedy tag), so I bring it here. I say this owing to the fact that he appears to have played for a bluelink name and may, pending verification have been good, and maybe resulted in media coverage. Or not, of course, and I'm not qualified to tell the difference. -Splash - tk 23:00, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. I tagged for speedy, but maybe it isn't speediable. Pretty sure precedent is that fully professional athletes are notable, amateurs are not, and this shows no sign of being an exception. - Aagtbdfoua 03:45, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. He's easily notable. WP:BIO quite specifically includes amateurs who play at the highest level of their sport as likely to be notable. Playing at the University of Georgia is playing in the NCAA Division I and in one of its major conferences (the Southeastern Conference), so it is playing at the highest level of the sport of amateur men's basketball. As such, there is indeed media coverage of him.[1] [2] Mwelch 06:08, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
