[edit]

Hi All, I believe this article should not be deleted for the following reasons.

I'm aware of the notability criterion for basketball players which she hasn't met. I must say that female basketball players have less media coverage compared to Male Basketball players; importantly female basketball players of African descent.

The subjectOnome Akinbode-James also participated in the 2015 Fiba Africa Under-16 championship for women where she won Silver. I Feel the tournament as an international basketball tournament should improve her notability. I feel strongly with time she will be very notable.

I must also say I want to close the gap between the representation of female college basketball players compared to their male counterparts on wikipedia and deleting this is another way of increasing the gap.

Again, I used so much effort in writing this article as I am a primarily a mobile phone editor. Deleting this is putting all my work in to the bin.

I will see to it that I improve the page with relevant references as I find them.

@Onel5969:

Thanks.
