I am in the process of creating this entry and therefore I would like to contest the nomination for speedy deletion. This is my first attempt at creating an entry and I am learning as I go, so it might not have been pretty at first. The nonsense was caused as a result of my then lack of knowledge regarding the sandbox and its proper use. I feel that the page is currently in a state that makes sense and is coherent. Also Once I manage to complete the basic body of the article I feel that it will defiantly provide enough meaningful content and/or history to be deemed acceptable. I just need a little more time. If anybody is still under the impression that it deserves deletion, please let me know what specifically it is that makes you think deletion is called for. In other words let me try to fix the problem. Of course all input is welcomed. Joshbrees (talk) 13:56, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand why a high school athlete, even a very good one, would meet the notability criteria. Can you cite reliable sources that verify how important this person is? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 14:00, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here is an excerpt along with the link that it is off of: "Even today, the '54 Indians impact is still felt by the community. "Bobby Plump is a legend. He could've probably been governor of this state if he wanted to," said Roger Dickinson, president of the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame. Plump was named one of the Most Noteworthy Hoosiers of the 20th century by Indianapolis Monthly Magazine. He was also one of the 50 greatest sports figures from Indiana in the 20th century, according to Sports Illustrated." This is of this site:http://www.sportshollywood.com/hoosiers.html He is really more then just a high school basketball player. He has a couple different books out and frequently speaks all over his region. Joshbrees (talk) 14:12, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it looks like several people have taken a look at this discussion and agreed that he's not just a high school player; you'll have the time you need to develop the article, and when you're finished, if anyone still thinks it should be deleted, it'll have to go through a community discussion before the decision is made. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 14:42, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's some good stuff available at Google Books. Zagalejo^^^ 08:24, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
