There is a requested move discussion at Talk:National Basketball Association#Requested move 28 February 2024 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. -- Zoo Blazer 06:47, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
A request for multiple pages to be moved is taking place at Talk:1992 PBA All-Filipino Conference Finals#Requested move 1 March 2024, which may interest this WikiProject's members. GoodDay ( talk) 16:43, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
The article Carrying (basketball) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Carrying is colloquial but I have not come across a rule book or ruleset that lists carry(ing) as a violation. From what I've come across, the rulesets define the carry as the hand dropping below the basketball, but it only serves to stop a live dribble. If a player dribbles again after stopping his dribble, whether or not a carry is used to stop the dribble, a double dribble violation is called. If a player lifts his pivot foot after stopping his dribble and places it back down without shooting or passing the ball, whether or not a carry is used to stop the dribble, a traveling violation is called. Suffice it to say there is no carry violation in the rule book.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

Hello all,
This draft is currently (about 10 am UTC 18 Mar 2024) tagged for speedy speedy deletion.
As you can see, the draft's only references are from EuroBasket statistics.
It would appear from this and this that she may have played College Basketball for the - "(EX Arkanases, USA)", in that "leadership.ng" mention but presumably Arkansas Razorbacks women's basketball, and may well have been picked as a participant in the Nigeria women's national basketball team in "call-up list of players" (sports247.ng mention) for preliminary matches leading up to Women's basketball at the 2024 Summer Olympics.
I would appreciate your opinions and assistance with this.

There is a discussion relevant to this project at Template talk:Basketballbox, requesting that the word "referees" be replaced by "officials". Please contribute there if you have a comment. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 00:19, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
I am participating in the WP:CUP. I am trying to score a lot of points at WP:GA. User:AirshipJungleman29 reviewed my Talk:Jordan Murphy (basketball)/GA1 nomination and I am now having second thoughts on my response. It is commonly accepted to have a new subsection for each new team affiliation in a bio. Typically, in these subsections we merely note when a player signed with a team, was traded or left a team. He asked me to try to avoid sequential stubby paragraphs and I merged a bunch of minimal paragraphs. Should I be doing this. Is it O.K. to have limited transaction announcement style paragraphs?- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 02:45, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
— Bagumba ( talk) 04:25, 22 March 2024 (UTC)Very short sections and subsections clutter an article with headings and inhibit the flow of the prose. Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheadings.
