[edit] Chris Quinn

College basketball players, though not inherently notable by WP:BIO can be. This guy, though, doesn't seem notable. The article can be recreated if he does play for a professional team. Delete BlueValour 22:22, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: Google has 89,300 exact results. Maybe we could implement WP:CITE and/or WP:V for this? --Slgr@ndson (page - messages - contribs) 23:25, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment yes but not for this Chris Quinn try this one for example! More importantly if he was truly notable he would surely have been snapped up by a pro team? BlueValour 23:38, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment Marcus Vick wasn't drafted, and the NFL Draft has five more rounds than the NBA Draft. -- Kicking222 23:44, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment Marcus added to his notability by being an extreme horse's behind. After a couple of years, if he doesn't make it in the NFL or CFL, his article may go up for AfD (as a Mountaineer, I can only hope. :)). --DarkAudit 02:37, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Keep Mr. Quinn was at one time considered the top point guard in college basketball and made the unfortunate decision of returning to school after his sophmore year. Had he entered the draft at that point he most certainly would have been drafted, but he had a less than stellar end to his career at Notre Dame. At this point I would bet he gets a spot on an NBA roster this year, although I understand that is clear crystalballism. My opinion is that we let this stay for a couple months and see how his pro career shakes out. DrunkenSmurf 01:52, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep There are other articles on undrafted free agents that do a much better job of attesting to the notability of a player than this one. See Mike Gansey. --DarkAudit 14:33, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep a star on Notre Dame, I'd say that's notable. --Awiseman 15:41, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Quinn just signed a contract with the Miami Heat. I will update the article tonight to reflect his current status as well as give a little more insight into his college career. DrunkenSmurf 14:10, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - the reference says 'Chris Quinn (Notre Dame) and Mike Gansey (West Virginia) have been signed to partially guaranteed contracts. But Spoelstra cautions that doesn't mean they'll make the team. "That just means they're here," Spoelstra said. "We do that every summer with guys that are prospects that we like just so they don't go somewhere else or to somebody else's summer team."' Could DrunkenSmurf help with what is a 'partially guaranteed contract', please? BlueValour 23:59, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

• Response LOL, Hey BlueValour are you following me?? I think the quote you have produced speaks for itself, I mean I probably can't give a better explanation than what is there. All NBA contracts are fully guaranteed, meaning if Shaq gets cut for some reason he still gets paid for the remaining years left on his contract. The guys you mention above signed 2 year deals but if they don't end up making the team this year they would not get the money for the second year. Essentially the guys who are the best of the undrafted class usually get signed to these types of deals so that they can't just jump ship and sign with another team in the middle of the summer league. Anyways, as I said in the Taj Gray Afd, we will know in a month or so if this player makes the team and since we have no time limit here my opinion is to wait a few weeks and let it play out a bit.
