Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nick VanderLaan (2nd nomination)
Per  – "Basketball figures are presumed notable if they- 3. Have won an award, or led the league in a major statistical category of the Continental Basketball Association or NBA Development League." Nick VanderLaan led the Continental Basketball Association in rebounding in the 2006–07 season. User:Duffbeerforme's personal opinion on the league's status at that time is irrelevant. Per the last AfD, of which only three users voted, both of the users who voted "delete" said so mostly based off the fact that 1. the referencing was poor and 2. there were not enough independent sources (you can see the previous attempt from 2015 http://speedydeletion.wikia.com/wiki/Nick_VanderLaan here). I found multiple independent, secondary, reliable sources of which the subject is VanderLaan himself: https://web.archive.org/web/20161103152723/http://archive.dailycal.org/article.php?id=5063 http://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/Cal-may-have-its-own-Mad-Dog-3080385.php http://articles.dailypress.com/2001-05-03/sports/0105030077_1_coach-gillen-georgia-tech-nick-vander-laan https://web.archive.org/web/20031223180549/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2003/basketball/ncaa/08/25/bc.bkc.vanderlaan.trans.ap/index.html https://web.archive.org/web/20001207173700/http://www.socalhoops.tierranet.com/archive/prepnotes/1198/nick1117.htm. And per , "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it '''does not''' need to be the main topic of the source material" – here are two ESPN sources that detail VanderLaan with more than just a trivial mention: http://static.espn.go.com/ncb/preview2000/025.html http://www.espn.com/recruiting/s/2001/0423/1184850.html
— NONE, NONE
