Comment: I don't see where notability is alleged anywhere in the article. There are a few news articles that mention his name, but this isn't enough to satisfy  or any other general criteria of notability

Comment: But I have to disagree with you two. If the author makes an assertion that the article is somewhat significant, speedying it would be unnecessarily . If this kind of article was speediable, it couldpotentially drive away new, good faith editors who are just unfamiliar with wikipedia.

Comment: The closest I see to an claim of notability (outside of, "he's played pro players once or twice") is the statement that he and a buddy:were included in the RIZE magazine at the beginning of the 2008-09 school year where they stated "we will work hard and be at the state championship"Except that I can't find a "RIZE magazine," and Google has no archived news sources containing that quote. So, maybe it's referring to RISE (magazine)? I can't find his name on that site, either. The "where he stands in the land" reference? That's a link to the front page of Rivals.com. From there you can get to a page where you can search 2009 high school basketball players by name—where he isn't found, either. End result: I see ''no'' claims to notability that actually exist. Why shouldn't it be #A7|speedied right now

Comment: if a high school athlete can qualify for inclusion and send out for a thorough sandblasting and copyedit. His work as player seems to get quite a bit of coverage.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/12/AR2009031203138.htmlhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/14/AR2009031402017.htmlhttp://www.wittysparks.com/video/1536377240/http://www.gazette.net/gazette_archive/2004/200406/clinton/sports/200340-1.htmlhttp://www.explorehoward.com/sports/16583/boys-basketball-playoffs-atholtons-run-ends-semis/http://www.gazette.net/stories/01232009/prinspo82410_32486.shtmlhttp://www.somdnews.com/stories/03062009/rectop164404_32211.shtmlhttp://www.gazette.net/stories/03062009/prinspo82151_32494.shtmlhttp://news.google.com/news?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&q=%22BRYAN%20BROOKS%22%2C%20basketball%2C%20Friendly&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wn...
