This article has been created recently by a now blocked sockmaster (not at the time of creation), but I felt AfD was better than CSD in case it was actually notable. However, I can not see it passing WP:GNG or WP:NBASKETBALL and there is no source supports the claim of playing for national team. Also this article is very poorly written and only a list of stats, even though that is no good reason for deletion. Qed237 (talk) 12:12, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Withdrawn by nominator – I withdraw my nomination as the basketballer player apparently has played international matches and adriatic league seems enough for notability. Although this article needs a lot of improving, it is notable so thid AfD can now be closed. Qed237 (talk) 23:05, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment CSD G5 would not have applied in this case, as the creator was not blocked/banned at the time that this article was created.—Bagumba (talk) 13:28, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I was not aware of that. Thank you. Qed237 (talk) 13:30, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, or at least I'm leaning towards it. The guy has played for the Bulgaria national team in EuroBasket 2015 qualification games[1][2] and in the Adriatic League[3], which I would argue should be a "major professional sports league" as per WP:NBASKETBALL, even if Bulgaria and Kosovo's national leagues aren't. — Toдor Boжinov — 16:15, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Participation in the First Category leagues and Balkan leagues, also part of Bulgaria national team.--Mondiad (talk) 23:08, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2016 January 26. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 00:37, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep – As nominator I realise from the comments above that it should be kept. Qed237 (talk) 23:12, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
