You may benefit from following some of the links below, which will help you get the most out of the world's largest encyclopædia.

Proposed deletion of Leonard White (basketball)

The article Leonard White (basketball) has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

August 2014

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to 2003–04 Los Angeles Clippers season may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s and 1 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

| [[Glen Rice]] || style="font-size: 80%"| waived, January 16 || [[G-Force Fights]] (owner}

Proposed deletion of Henry Carr (basketball)

The article Henry Carr (basketball) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails to satisfy WP:NBASKETBALL because he never played in a major pro basketball league. Article also fails to satisfy WP:NCOLLATH because he has no significant media coverage, owns no records, never was never named All-American or All-conference, and was not named to the Hall of Fame.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
