American player heights having to be in ft/in

Hi. Is there a guideline or general consensus that American players' heights in infoboxes should be listed in feet and inches? If an American player is competing in Europe or Australia, where measurements are usually in centimeters and kilograms, should the infobox still default to feet and inches? At Ian Clark (basketball), I changed his height/weight to cm/kg [1] as he is playing in Australia and the NBL currently lists him in cm/kg [2]. Miamiheat631 changed it back to ft/in because "He's American" [3]. The infobox fields are "listed height" and "listed weight" – this should reflect his most recently listing, and his most recently listing is in cm/kg. Why should it matter what the nationality is? Thanks. DaHuzyBru (talk) 01:14, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

Per Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Units_of_measurement, "In non-scientific articles with strong ties to the United States, the main unit is generally a US customary unit (22 pounds (10 kg))....Where English-speaking countries use different units for the same measurement, provide a conversion in parentheses.". If a particular player can be argued to have strong ties to more than one country (ie American competing in Australia), MOS:RETAIN applies. Nikkimaria (talk) 06:08, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

(edit conflict) MOS:UNITS reads:

In non-scientific articles with strong ties to the United States, the primary units are US customary (pounds, miles, feet, inches, etc.)

Ok, thank you. So for Ian Clark, what should he be listed as? 6 ft 3 in is 191cm, but the NBL lists him as 190cm. Should it be 6 ft 2.8 in? Or ignore any non-NBA leagues and just keep 6'3" 175 lb per NBA? [4] [5] DaHuzyBru (talk) 07:01, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

Use the current team/league info, if available. If it's in metric, |height_order= and |weight_order= can be used to show the converted non-metric measurement first. —Bagumba (talk) 07:07, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

Done [6], thanks for your help. DaHuzyBru (talk) 07:24, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

Possible undue weight content

Hi. Does anyone else feel this content is WP:UNDUE? Someone has got an agenda they are pushing [7] [8]. DaHuzyBru (talk) 02:58, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

Can't say I'm too familiar with this particular sub-topic, but if it's only covered by routine flash-in-the-pan news reporting, our P&Gs would generally consider it undue, since articles are supposed to be based on secondary sources. Left guide (talk) 03:29, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. The sources used are reliable and secondary, but I'm not convinced that the topic carries enough weight to justify it's place in the article, both tonally and historical importance. It has a making a mountain out of a molehill feel to it. Does anyone else agree? I get that the subject matter is probably an area most people here don't want to get involved in. I could just wait and let the matter simmer and challenge the content again the future. DaHuzyBru (talk) 10:46, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

In order to comply with WP:NPOV, if the article is going to mention when did the team decide not to wear the Pride insignia (November 2025), then it also needs to mention when did they initially decide to begin wearing the insignia, I assume under the league's voluntary participation policy, and since it does not do that, then you are justified in deleting the paragraph.

Awards to add onto NBA players' articles infobox

The following is an archived discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate listed WT:NBA discussion page No further edits should be made to this section.

Moved to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Basketball Association § IBM Award addition to infobox

Hello. I have a question regarding awards to add to NBA players articles infobox. There are some awards such as the J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award, NBA Sportsmanship Award, Twyman–Stokes Teammate of the Year and NBA Hustle Award that are not included in some NBA players articles infobox. I was wondering if I could include these awards in their articles because they are noteworthy awards that I believe should be included. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AloofStorm5476 (talk • contribs) 16:22, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
