 :This kid is a well-known Birmingham athlete so I'm struggling to see why the article on him has been deleted. It was a misinformed and disrespectful move on your part. 
 The article as written is simply about a young athlete who was good at basketball in school but now is enrolled in university, just like hundreds of thousands of other people in the world. Please read Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, specifically, ""Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information."" You may also wish to read the guidelines for biography articles. If you wish to re-create the article, please do so but bear in mind that it must be verifiable from reliable sources. Regards, e  {} "
