Contested prod, no reason given for prod removal. This person has done nothing notable enough to justify a page on Wikipedia. He is simply a college basketball player, of which there are thousands each year. He has done nothing notable enough to distinguish him from the many thousands of other college basketball players throughout history. The extent of his allocates is earning All-Pac 10 freshman honors and All-Pac 10 honorable mention honors, which in not nearly notable enough to distinguish him from all the others. There are hundreds of-all conference selections made each year, most of which never make it to the NBA. If he had earned All-American honors I would consider that notable enough for inclusion, but an All-Pac 10 honorable mention being enough would open the door for thousands of other non-notable college basketball player articles being made. If he makes it to the pros or does something equally notable then this could be recreated, but for now keeping this would set precedent to create thousands of new articles on college basketball players that never make it past the amateur level.

• Keep apparently has plenty of media coverage [1]. Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia... we don't need to delete articles for fear of running out of space. --W.marsh 18:48, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep: The relevant bit from WP:BIO is:

Competitors who have played or competed at the highest level in amateur sports (who meet the general criteria of secondary sources published about them).

Seems to me that the Ducks basketball program is clearly "highest level," as they only last year went deep in March Madness. -Pete 20:52, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

• Keep - appears to pass WP:BIO per Peteforsyth. No more bongos 21:08, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
