The article Doug Thomas has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- does not meet the notability guideline for basketballers WP:NBASKETBALL
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

(Hang On)
Please explain why this page is in jeopardy of being deleted. I think that I saved the page before I added my citations, but then added them after. All of the information is accurate and I spent several hours compiling my research. Please explain what I did wrong.
- This revision: [1] did not meet WP:NBASKETBALL, and so was tagged for PROD. If you added the citations after the PROD tag was added, then please remember that other editors cannot mind read or forecast the future. Osarius : T : C : Been CSD'd? 12:06, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
I understand. Thank you for explaining. I did not mean to save it before I added the cites...but rather preview it. I will be more careful next time. Thanks again for your help.
