Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Basketball Association/New assessment scale draft

WNBA and D-League

Do these fall under this project? I do see WNBA articles under Category:Top-importance NBA articles? Frankly, I dont recall any WNBA discussions ever being brought up in WP:NBA.—Bagumba (talk) 00:40, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

D-league definitely fall under WP:NBA. Don't know about WNBA, though.—Chris!_c/t 01:39, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I just found Wikipedia:WikiProject National Basketball Association/WNBA task force, and your name is on it :-) I'll ping WP:BASKETBALL as well.—Bagumba (talk) 02:30, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Really. I don't remember at all.—Chris!_c/t 02:42, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

All-Rookie

Mid links to List of National Basketball Association awards, but I dont think NBA All-Rookie Team is automatically indicative of a players long-term importance in the NBA. Should we exclude it altogether, limit it to 1st team, or just leave it for convenience? Ideally, I'd say to exclude it. A lot of these players end up being more important because they have relative long careers, not because they are remembered as All-Rookie.—Bagumba (talk) 07:49, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. We should exclude it.—Chris!_c/t 02:48, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just went and itemized the awards, which is good because those citizenship and sportsmanship awards dont make a player more important (keeping religion out of this).—Bagumba (talk) 03:06, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Championship

What about championship players won? I personally don't think they matter much because even benchwarmer wins championship. Thought?—Chris!_c/t 04:20, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think we can leave it out to simplify. People can make exceptions on per case basis for some non-star who happens to win mult championships that hasn't played 7 years.—Bagumba (talk) 05:01, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Shawn Marion

The scale might need some tweaking. I personally think he should be Mid, but he is High based on the current criteria of 3+ All-Star. Maybe changing to 4+? Thoughts?—Chris!_c/t 01:54, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If I look at List of NBA All-Stars, maybe it should be 5+ AS? And what about the 3+ All-NBA, is that still OK? I'm even wondering if 7+ years in NBA can be tweaked up some more.—Bagumba (talk) 02:06, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

5+ AS looks good, 3+ ANBA seems fine. It is not easy to make the teams. 7+ years is a little low, 9+ is better IMO.—Chris!_c/t 02:12, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Move to main page

Resolved

I think it is more or less stable. Should we just move it? We can fine tune other things later, like owners and execs.—Bagumba (talk) 22:10, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sure.—Chris!_c/t 22:48, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
