Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Basketball

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Basketball. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Basketball|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Basketball. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Sports.

A review of supplied sources reveals most of the coverage is in sources about or interviews with Brandon "Scoop B" Robinson, including (alas) a WP:FORBESCON piece. A selective merge there may be advised. Suspect promotional editing. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 01:33, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge & Redirect; I don't see any strong evidence for the notability of Scoop B. Radio as an independent entity. Any info about it are is no doubt better included into Scoop B's article, but I think it would be sensible to leave behind a redirect just in case anybody does end up going looking for it.

Weak keep – The seasons individually have archived sources. The division's page itself only lists the final games, which can be verified in the sources I cited. Svartner (talk) 04:44, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Atlanta Ballers

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

All the team pages for the teams in this league are basically the same and simply state the team was formed by Lavar Ball's JBA which played one season and the team held tryouts, pretty much not meeting WP:GNG. All of that could simply and is covered in the general Junior Basketball Association article. So making this a group nomination for all of the teams - except Los Angeles Ballers, which I guess got a bit more coverage because of Lamelo and LiAngelo Ball and maybe meets GNG.

Instead of straight up deletion, a Redirect to Junior Basketball Association is probably most fitting.

In total, I am nominating the following related pages because of the same above reasons:

Redirect all to Junior Basketball Association per nom. Probably there would be no harm in merging Los Angeles Ballers there too. Tioaeu8943 (talk) 23:28, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect: to the league page seems fine, a bit of coverage found. Oaktree b (talk) 14:31, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
