• Keep. Members of U.S. Division I men's college basketball receive national coverage from third party reliable sources, without regards to how good they are, how many points they score, or how many starts they get. This is what notability guidelines for biography are meant to ensure. Attempting to winnow top ranked players from also-rans is going to raise PoV issues and falls outside the scope of notability guidelines as currently written. This fellow was a member of a team that won a national championship. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:54, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per WP:BIO. He was a member of a team that won the national championship, so has clearly "played or competed at the highest level in amateur sports." This and his other awards etc are sufficient evidence of notability.--Kubigula (talk) 18:43, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
