The result was delete. Article at the moment fails to assert WP:GNG. No prejudice to recreation if it can assert any kind of notability. Yamamoto Ichiro (talk) 17:30, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think he fails WP:NBASKETBALL, no international experience, just a benchwarmer in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA), and already out of the league since 2011 (when he was only 24). Whereas Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cory Underwood averaged 10.8 points in 24 games in China ([1]), Feng Lei only averaged <3 points in the CBA over 4 seasons, including 2 seasons where he only played in 1 game each ([2]).

• Delete. Perhaps notable on an Asian-language Wiki, but not enough sources in English to satisfy WP:GNG on the English Wikipedia. Jrcla2 (talk) 15:46, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Jrcla2: The sources don't have to be in English to establish notability, as long as they are reliable. → Call me Razr Nation 23:57, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • True, but this doesn't have any sources to begin with. Jrcla2 (talk) 00:37, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • Whether this has sufficient non-English sources I do not know at this point, but Razr is correct that Jrcla2's initial statement - which I gather he now retracts - was not correct, as he does not need "sources in English to satisfy GNG on the English Wikipedia". 2604:2000:E016:A700:BCF9:21E6:5705:D71E (talk) 21:36, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
