I could find a notable mayor of this name, and a basketball player called Gregory Echenique. I could not confirm the information in this article (which would make him notable, if he'd played for a national team). This is an unref blp due to only refs being deadlinks.

I've found an updated version of one of the dead links which is enough to confirm he competed at the 1990 World Championships as claimed, so this is no longer unsourced. However competing in international basketball isn't one of the criteria listed at WP:NBASKETBALL. Hut 8.5 12:09, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

On reflection, delete. WP:SPORTSPERSON and the relevant bit of WP:SPORTCRIT and are intended to be summaries of the more detailed criteria at WP:NSPORT. He doesn't qualify under the basketball-specific part. Looking at the archives of that page I can see a few suggestions to add something which would include international basketball players but it hasn't happened, so I can only assume this is deliberate.

Keep passes WP:SPORTCRIT having played at the highest international level.--User:Namiba 16:33, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the article lacks anything that is truly an independent source, all the coverage is sources from the organization he was part of.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:12, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The vast majority of major tournament players are on Wikipedia. References are good --Fittipaldi92 (talk) 15:18, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He does pass WP:SPORTCRIT by having played in the 1990 FIBA World Championship which is the highest level of international basketball alongside the Olympics. He is also a player who played almost all his career in a non-english speaking country pre-Internet so sources regarding him are likely not found with a simple Google search.

Keep Meets WP:SPORTSPERSON “A sportsperson is presumed to be notable if the person has actively participated in a major amateur or professional competition” SportsOlympic (talk) 21:16, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Basketball has it's own SNG at WP:NBASKETBALL. There is an ongoing discusiion at Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(sports)#WP:SPORTSCRIT_clarification_on_international_competitions regarding whether SPORTCRIT applies when a more specific sport criteria exists but doesn't mention a specific international competition (FIBA World Championship in this case).—Bagumba (talk) 10:22, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Meets SPORTCRIT. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 12:27, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep unfortunately meets WP:SPORTCRIT]], although that says more about the guideline than the subject's notability! ——Serial 18:19, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
