High school basketball player who was apparently the MVP of the "KCAA" tournament (which doesn't appear to have a wikipedia article). Anyway does not meet Wikipedia:Notabilty (sports)#Basketball and after searching through gnews etc I can't find any significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

Delete. A search of google and newspaper databases reveals no non-trivial coverage in independent, verifiable sources. Cbl62 (talk) 03:47, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The KCAA appears to be some sort of Christian high school athletics association. (Most schools in Kentucky play in the KHSAA.) Maybe if this kid was playing for a major college program, there would be something worth keeping here, but I see no evidence that that is the case. Zagalejo^^^ 03:43, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete This guy is so far from notable that he can't even see it from here. Also probably a vanity article since the user who created it has no other WP edits in his/her history. Rikster2 (talk) 14:29, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- In case you're interested, an A7 speedy delete tag was declined for this article as there is a credible assertion of significance. Jenks24 (talk) 14:36, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Interesting. That was a bad call. Since when is being named MVP in a lower-division HS basketball tournament a credible assertion of significance? Rikster2 (talk) 15:03, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Hmmm, I'm thinking it was possibly borderline and admins will generally decline if they think a speedy delete call would be borderline. That being said, I'm not an admin and perhaps you would be better off asking the declining admin, ErikHaugen (talk · contribs), for an explanation. Jenks24 (talk) 15:16, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - Speedy Delete/Delete - it isn't that big a deal. I will say this, after some research I found Schoonover's Facebook page and it says he graduated HS in 2010 and attends Northern Kentucky University. He isn't even listed on the roster for NKU basketball (found here). I am now 100% convinced that this page is a vanity page. Rikster2 (talk) 15:25, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        Therefore the page should have been deleted when speedyed? Wilbysuffolk talk 01:07, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        Big time. Did nobody catch that the article creator's username is "Scoonie1492?" Definitely a vanity article and should be deleted immediately IMO. Rikster2 (talk) 03:39, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
