Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/FIBA Basketball World Cup Top Scorer
OK, I should have seen this right away, but I didn't want to assume Bagumba was just being a Deletionism and inclusionism in Wikipedia|deletionist. I should have seen it right away, when he tagged the artice with an AFD, claiming it was something trivial and akin to an article about the shortest player at an event, and that "we" (deletionists) shouldn't allow something like that here at Wikipedia because such a "minimal level of inclusion" would lead to "shortest player at an event" getting an article. No it wouldn't. And obviously this is just a deletionism tactic by a deltionist (Bagumba), that simply personally wants to get rid of the article. The article does have independent verifiable sources, and does have the grouping listed by independent verifiable sources (more than one). To which Bagumba simply claims it does not. And even with them provided in both the article and this discussion, Bagumba simply claims there are none. That is a clear 100% classic deletionist tactic. The article does not fail  as Baguma claims it does. It has independent verifiable sources (multiple), and it has the same with the specific groupings listed, which he simply asserts that it does not (without any proof), meaning his deletion discussion arguments here also fail Wikipedia burden of proof. In addition, this seems to very clearly be an example of USA centric bias. Why are the articles of NCAA lead scorers and NBA lead scorers not tagged with deletion discussions? Because they are American basketball events. If this article was titled "American Basketball League Top Scorer", it wouldn't have been tagged. Such bias, that Bagumba wants this article deleted, because they think it is unimportant and shouldn't be on the site, despite similar articles being on the site with an American point of view, is a bias of American centrism. All this in general, should be unacceptable reasoning for an article's deletion per this Wikipedia:Neutral point of view - as the arguments for deleting this article clearly fall under Bagumba's own opinions and ignore independent sources. List of National Basketball Association career scoring leaders and List of National Basketball Association career playoff scoring leaders should also be deleted, using the same criteria and arguments Bagumba is using here in this delete discussion. Those articles would fail the same list rules and source rules, etc., based on Bagumba's arguments and claims in this discussion. However, no deletion tag has been placed on those articles, because they are about a basketball competition that is a USA based event
