Draft:George Galanopoulos (basketball)

  • Comment: From the provided references, it appears the subject is not notable yet. More independent, high quality references are needed to fully assess the subject's notability. In addition and as of right now, the draft reads more like a résumé than an encyclopedic article. NeoGaze (talk) 12:52, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: This will need WP:TNT and a complete re-write in neutral tone. Theroadislong (talk) 15:58, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Possibly notable? It's extremely hard to tell throughout the non-neutral POV and editorializing that is taking place here. This is not currently written like an encyclopedia article. There should be roughly zero quotes in the "Coaching Career" section. Encyclopedia articles shouldn't be saying phrases like "When someone dozed, they'd fall victim to his pranks", "Fast-forward to the subsequent March" or "Galanopoulos's coaching odyssey has spanned the entire globe".
