Fails Wikipedia:Notability_(sports)#Basketball
This article fails Wikipedia:Notability_(sports)#Basketball. ----moreno oso (talk) 02:30, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
Why is it up for deletion?
There are references about him and everything and he is a notable basketball recruit for Kentucky. He and his family have been in the news a lot lately over the accusations that his dad wanted money for him to commit to a school. I dont see why this would be nominated for deletion and Michael Gilchrist wouldn't. Ice (talk) 02:36, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
- See the previous section. HS players don't make the WP:N cut. ----moreno oso (talk) 02:38, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
- Multiple articles have been allowed to stay even while the person was still in HS. Ex: Michael Gilchrist, Kyle Prater, Harrison Barnes, and Brandon Knight (basketball) Ice (talk) 02:42, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
Also there were similar discussions for other athletes Arthur Brown, Tre` Newton, Kyle Prater, and Perry Jones. Ice (talk) 02:51, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
- WP:OTHERSTUFF does not apply. Most of the other AfDs were before the notability for sports figures were arrived at by WP:CONSENSUS.----moreno oso (talk) 03:40, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
Multiple issue tags
This article has a number of references that are not primary sources and which are incidental to local media coverage. While the ESPN ref concerns the subject directly as per it:
- Davis was an unknown before the spring due to lack of exposure.
Other reliable sources needed to establish notability but this article definitely fails Wikipedia:Notability_(sports)#Basketball. Bringing up WP:OTHERSTUFF does not concur notability. ----moreno oso (talk) 04:02, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
Birth year - 1991 or 1993?
According to the UK media guide, Davis was born in 1991 (See page 39). I am aware some other sources like draft express list it as 1993. What's the truth? I would normally trust the school source. Rikster2 (talk) 22:39, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
Goggles
According to SLAM Magazine he wore goggles as a sophomore. I did not include it in the article.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 06:26, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
Nickname
An IP added the nickname "The Uni-brow". I see some references regarding the nickname such as http://sports-kings.com/?p=10293 and http://www.celticsblog.com/2012/2/26/2826397/how-good-is-anthony-davis, but I see no major WP:RS. I have reverted as unsourced but feel free to correct.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 06:13, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

– The basketball player is coming into prominence. He is expected to the the first draft pick in the June 2012 NBA Draft. Most of these guys are formerly prominent people. Right now and going into the future the basketball player should be on the undabbed page. I don't know how many of the people looking for Beenie Man and Ant (producer) actually come to the disambiguation page.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:24, 14 March 2012 (UTC) TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:24, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose Premature: he may be of some current interest, but whether that will continue going into the future is pure speculation. He might get knocked down by a bus tomorrow, and therefore a very minor footnote in a relatively short time. Maybe one day it will be clear that the move will be justified, but not at this stage. Kevin McE (talk) 19:49, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose WP:CRYSTAL on his draft position, WP:RECENTISM on his draft desirability. 65.92.181.184 (talk) 03:53, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
Not unanimous
He was not "(unanimous)" All American selection. He received 63 out 65 votes. Only Thomas Robinson was unanimous this year.
StatisticsMan (talk) 19:49, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
- Unanimous in reference to First team Consensus All-American, means he was first team according to all 4 selectors.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 19:51, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
Personal life source
The following USA Today article has the names of Davis's parents, elder sister, and twin sister (which is spelled "Antoinette", not "Antoinnete"), and could be used for a reference citation in the first sentence: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/mensbasketball/story/2012-03-29/Kentucky-found-hidden-gem-in-Anthony-Davis/53872780/1
- I had already included that one, but I had not noticed the older sister in it.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:45, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
Second Requested Move
The request to rename this article to Anthony Davis has been carried out.
If the page title has consensus, be sure to close this discussion using {{subst:RM top|'''page moved'''.}} and {{subst:RM bottom}} and remove the {{Requested move/dated|…}} tag, or replace it with the {{subst:Requested move/end|…}} tag. |
– I tried this a month ago due to his rising prominence. He has now swept the most National Player of the Year Awards and the likelihood that he will be the first draft pick in the June 2012 NBA Draft (when his pageviews will peak again) is clearer. Most of these other guys are formerly prominent people. Right now and going into the future the basketball player should be on the undabbed page.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 07:58, 9 April 2012 (UTC) TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 07:58, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

- Mild oppose in part because closed 22 March and trying again 9 April. Is this really so urgent, and is it really so different if Anthony Davis (basketball) comes up first on Google anyway? In ictu oculi (talk) 15:40, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose -- With 14 people sharing a name, it is much better that Anthony Davis should remain a dab-page. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:31, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose -- Like Christopher Knight and Christopher Knight (actor), I don't see this basketball happening to be primary anytime soon. Let's wait for ten or twenty more years to see how consensus changes. --George Ho (talk) 14:38, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
- He is getting 90% of the pageviews for this name and has been on the cover of Sports Illustrated twice this month (3/19 and 4/9). That sounds pretty primary now if you ask me.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:16, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose it's been less than a month since the last proposal. Also WP:RECENTISM. And WP:CRYSTAL concerning his draft placement. It's not June, and he hasn't been drafted, you can't use that to base his primarity. 70.24.248.211 (talk) 15:30, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
