Talk:Ian Mahinmi

message: On March 21, 2006 an anonymous read added the following sentence to the article, "He is a fan of Eva Longoria and appreciates playing ping-pong with Zinedine Zidane."  I could not find a credible source to confirm either claim.  I suspect it is a hoax and am deleting it.  If anyone is aware of a credible source to back either statement, please replace with a citation.  --Mikebrand 03:18, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Fan of Longoria and ping pong with Zidane?

message: I see revert wars are centered around whether Mahinmi is a Spurs Player, a Spur or neither.  He is an unsigned draftee for the Spurs.  He has played with the Spurs in the summer league.  He is a basketball player (as opposed to a stadium or owner or mascot).  Should we continue reverting on this important topic?  Or should it go to a vote?--Mikebrand 03:53, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree—Spurs player. Unfortunately, some Down Under folk seems to think they know more about the Spurs. Clipper471 03:55, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I envision the player categories as eventually becoming all-time rosters (like this) for their respective teams.  Thus, I don't think Ian Mahinmi should be included until he has appeared in a regular season game.  I'm not thrilled about putting him in :Category:San Antonio Spurs either.

thread_title: Is he a Spurs player?

message: In the case of Mahinmi, I can see the rationale for wanting a link to either the Spurs or Spurs Players categories.  He is much more than someone who was signed and traded.  Spurs staff is working with him on diet, strength and development.  He has a high probability of playing for the Spurs in a few years.  He is receiving local media attention: the Express News ran a feature article on him during the summer league.
Maybe the solution in situations like this should be a new category such as Spurs Unsigned Players or an article with a similar title, an explanation of what it means to be an unsigned player and a listing of players linked to articles.  Or, since this issue surely applies to players with many teams, maybe the solution is a single article for all unsigned players in the NBA with a single explanation of what that means, then a listing by team of all unsigned players.  --Mikebrand 18:34, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
