Notability of basketball players

To Rikster and HTD - please see [1]. Regards. Eldumpo (talk) 05:45, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your response on this. You'll note that two other people have posted, and have suggested the qualifier is removed, rather than amended as per my suggestion. I'd prefer it remains as otherwise the listed leagues will tend to be regarded as black and white, and if it's not on there will be pushed for deletion. Anyway, if you could post there regarding your views on that particular issue and then we can at least make some change to NBasketball. Regards. Eldumpo (talk) 05:14, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
