Keep - I went in and did massive cleanup, ref expansion, added an infobox and categories, etc. to make it pass notability. He played in Australia's National Basketball League, which is the highest professional league you can play in over there. He's also notable for being one of very few players ever to record a
quadruple-double in a semi-professional or professional basketball game. I admit the way the article looked before compared to how I made it look now is night and day, and so I understand the initial reasoning for deletion, but he passes notability thresholds for basketball players.
