Non-notable, unreferenced. Kill with fire. Ziggy Sawdust 19:54, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. Unreferenced is not a reason to delete -- it's a reason to see if references can be found. Given he's a pro player, sources are readily found to show he passes WP:ATHLETE. —Quasirandom (talk) 20:38, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
• Weak keep He has a profile at Eurobasket.com and appears to have represented Senegal internationally [1]. I'm not finding much else about him, but that's not surprising for a player like this. For the record, I don't subscribe to Eurobasket, and I doubt anyone here does, so I don't know what lies behind the paywall. Zagalejo^^^ 22:47, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
• Keep Jpmonroe (talk) 00:00, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
• Strong Delete Just playing professional basketball in France doesn't make you notable. He is about as notable as a backup quarterback in the Arena football league. The article doesn't contain any information about him anyway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blahblah5555 (talk • contribs) 03:06, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

• According to WP:ATHLETE, playing in a fully professional league, any league, does make you notable. —Quasirandom (talk) 03:45, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

• Yes, professional basketball in France confers notability. And the fact that the article is incomplete is unfortunate, but not a deletion reason. matt91486 (talk) 23:00, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - by the letter notability as both a professional basketball player for Avignon in France and a Senegalese international basketball player. matt91486 (talk) 22:59, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
• Keep Clearly meets notability requirement for athletes. Edward321 (talk) 02:11, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
