Basketball greats

I removed the start of usurping this for a list of basketball greats. Those types of pages generally don't work per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of ice hockey players considered the greatest of all time.—Bagumba (talk) 16:24, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

An unrelated deleted Wikipedia page doesn't set a precedent. We are talking about a cultural icon recognized by multiple media and news organizations. You have violated WP:3RR and Wikipedia:Ownership of content. I recommend you stop the gatekeeping and move on from being a watch dog over such a small page.Valkyrie Red (talk) 19:27, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The last time Bagumba edited this article was in June 2021, i wouldn't call that gatekeeping --FMSky (talk) 22:21, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
sorry, got him confused with you. Same thing applies. You have violated two Wikipedia ordinances. You revert my edit one more time and you get reported. Consider this a final warning.Valkyrie Red (talk) 22:20, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bagumba: could you revert please --FMSky (talk) 22:50, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The purpose of this page is to disambiguate titles that might fall under the umbrella of "Greatest of All Time", so for example the albums with that acronym as the name, or the program with a near exact name. It is not a catch all for any individual who might be described as such, and disambiguation pages that can be described as descriptors do not list the individuals that would fall under the definition of the term unless it's part of their name in some way. - Aoidh (talk) 23:53, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing indicating that that is the purpose of this page. Nothing. Not a single rule. Until you bring that up for citation you are violating WP:OWN.Valkyrie Red (talk) 00:00, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
First, you need to actually read WP:OWN. Reverting an edit is not evidence of that. Second, I think you should take the time to read Wikipedia:Disambiguation, which explains the purpose of such pages. In particular, WP:DABRELATED would apply here. - Aoidh (talk) 00:10, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Reverting edits on the basis of overseeing a page to one's subjective specifications = WP:OWN. Secondly, WP:DABRELATED gives leeway for entries not verbatim to the policy in place as long as they relate to it ("if the term being disambiguated is actually described in the target article") which numerous secondhand sources will affirm for Jordan.Valkyrie Red (talk) 02:35, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
