Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hocine Gaham
The case for keep, I think, comes down to the utter ridiculousness of . A player who played one minute in the three-game 1952 Yugoslav First Basketball League is deemed notable by that standard, but someone like Hocine Gaham who has played multiple games at FIBA's AfroBasket is not notable (in addition to being a regular starter on the best team in the Algerian basketball league). The spirit of NBASKETBALL which opts for including marginal players certainly warrants keeping Hocine Gaham. However, since I can't figure out such utterly ridiculous standards, I will instead opt for (the less ridiculous?) GNG standard. Newsbank has 27 hits, and 20 of those refer to the 2015 AfroBasket tournament. I couldn't find any player profiles or paragraphs about his work that moved beyond ordinary sports coverage ("Gaham added 4 points" or something). Searched three Algerian newspapers and couldn't find anything substantive there either. So, seems to fail GNG
