| By the way, I merely skimmed through the biographies but they appear to be very well done.

Re: Demar DeRozan
Re your message: The start of the basketball season does not help the notability of Demar DeRozan. As I noted to you earlier, the problem is that he does not meet the notability guidelines for athletes. The start of the season does not change that. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 23:37, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
- Re your message: It's alright, I'm not bothered by your questions. Like I said, I don't think he is notable enough, but you are still welcome to recreate the article. I won't delete it. My recommendation is to make sure that you have proper references for him so that another admin does not delete it. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:08, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
- Re your message: You need to add references to articles about him from mainstream media. For example, newspapers or major basketball/sports websites. Stories written about him would be best. Passing mentions ("He scored the winning basket." or "He had the most points scored in the game.") would not infer notability. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 21:14, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
