Onel5969's PROD rationale: "Simply does not meet either WP: GNG or WP:NCOLLATH"

I seriously question Onel's understanding of both of those guidelines.

  • Booker was the primary subject of two national newspaper articles (The Baltimore Sun; Los Angeles Times), in itself sufficiently satisfying GNG, not to mention the secondary sources of which he's a primary subject.
  • Regarding NCOLLATH, literally the very first criterion is satisfied: "Have won a national award (such as those listed in Template:College Football Awards or the equivalent in another sport), or established a major NCAA Division I record." Booker won the Chip Hilton Player of the Year Award, a national award that's listed on Template:Men's college basketball award navbox. Furthermore, criterion #3 is satisfied: "Gained national media attention as an individual, not just as a player for a notable team. Very rarely, a player may gain national media attention despite not being on a notable team, such as Lauren Hill." Booker received individual attention as an individual, not just as another player on a mid-major Division I team, per the sources already listed in the article.

If this gets pushed to a full AfD, it's going to be an open/close speedy keep. SportsGuy789 (talk) 18:33, 9 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
