Da'Sean Butler[edit]

There is no notability for this athlete. The article's creator has a habit of creating lots of borderline-notable WVU athletes. I do not believe this guy is notable. If the article's description of the guy is a bunch of single-game descriptions, he is not notable. His stats were 12 points and 6 rebounds per game. Absolutely non-notable.

Keep - Meets the basic criteria for WP:BIO. Butler is the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject. LinguistAtLarge • Msg 16:43, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, doesn't appear to be anything particularly notable about this basketball player. Wizardman 21:46, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Question - Is that in your opinion or based on Wikipedia policy? A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject (from WP:BIO). Now see this [1] LinguistAtLarge • Msg 22:16, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I've added a few references, if you want more there are several hundred here. LinguistAtLarge • Msg 22:33, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per LinguistAtLarge pointing out the large amount of hits, clearly passes WP:ATHLETE.--Iamawesome800 Talk to Me 21:33, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Actually, it doesn't meet WP:ATHLETE as far as I can tell, since he is a college player. But it does met WP:BIO by establishing notability via independent, reliable sources. LinguistAtLarge • Msg 23:11, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Looks like it now has plenty of sources to establish notability. --Explodicle (T/C) 16:01, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
