Comment: Forgot to mention in my other comment, but the UoP profile is also not considered WP:INDEPENDENT and may be WP:PRIMARY. MolecularPilot 🧪️✈️ 06:56, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: The specific criteria for basketball players can be found at WP:NBASKETBALL - but that's mainly US-specific so meeting WP:SPORTSCRIT is what is required here. Current references are WP:PRIMARY and not independent (Sydney Kings Press Release) while the others do not meet significant coverage as they are just database inclusions.
