• Keep I actually think he meets WP:GNG based on independent reliable sources such as [http://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf/2015/05/mookie_jones_basketball_players_path_to_syracuse_degree_includes_suspension_evic.html this] and [http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/sports/former-syracuse-players-devendorf-jones-turning-lives-around-20150707&template=mwdt this] and [http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-basketball/story/2012-07-25/mookie-jones-done-playing-at-syracuse this]. The article needs to be updated, though. Rikster2 (talk) 13:15, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
• Keep Per sources identified by Rikster2, meets WP:GNG with significant coverage in independent reliable source. Thus, WP:WHYN can be met "so that we can actually write a whole article, rather than half a paragraph or a definition of that topic." SNGs are a helpful quick check in most case, but GNG is more comprehensive.—Bagumba (talk) 22:21, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
• Keep I think he meets GNG due to the sources brovided by Rikster. Would love to have information on his professional career/where is he now type of thing. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 19:14, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
• Keep as this seems better and acceptable now. SwisterTwister talk 06:43, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

:*Comment. How does this satify GNG? I see mostly blogs and box scores. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:44, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

::I take it you clicked none of the links I posted above? There is also [http://poststar.com/sports/mookie-jones-goes-from-rival-to-fan/article_6bef08e6-029a-11e0-87c1-001cc4c002e0.html this], [http://collegebasketball.nbcsports.com/2012/07/26/mookie-jones-career-at-syracuse-over/ this] and [http://blog.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/2010/01/keeping_up_with_the_joneses.html this]. Clearly meets GNG in my opinion. In fact, Jones is a great example of how starters for the very top college teams often do get the requisite coverage to meet GNG even if they don't meet NBASKETBALL.
