Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of basketball players who died during their careers
a Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Non-encyclopedic_cross-categorizations|non-encyclopaedic cross-categorisation so violates ; what would be required for an article like this to be kept would be reliable sources discussing in depth the connection between basketball players dying and that death taking place while they are contracted to a team. Essentially, this is just a list of players that died young and, whilst that is certainly tragic, Wikipedia is not a memorial page and we do not need a list article on people of every line of work dying before they were able to retire from that line of work unless online or offline media clearly deem such a topic to be a notable one itself. At the moment, we have a list of deceased sportspeople sourced to obituaries and death announcements but no indication that the intersection itself is notable
