Lead
Background
  • "was a first-team All-area selection" what does this mean?
  • "and Indiana State and Rivals.com rated him" -> "and Indiana State, and Rivals.com rated him"
  • "He and Mitch McGary had" who is Mitch McGary?
    • That sentence and the subsequent one provide context and his name is linked. What more do you want?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:56, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Ah, my bad. I didn't see it was linked.
  • "By the time McGary committed to Michigan in November 2011, Robinson had moved up to the national number 34 player ranking according to Rivals.com." unsourced

I'll finish the rest once I get off work today.

I apologize for the delay, but I don't really have a lot of extra time because of the Holidays. I will reply back by the end of the week.

Once again, I apologize. I am finishing the review now.

Background (part 2)
  • "Robinson earned MVP honors with 33..." I suggest spelling out Mose Valuable Player (MVP), as people outside the sports world might not know what this means.
  • "Although, he finished as the highest rated Indiana basketball player according to Rivals.com and the Indiana Basketball News state MVP,[26][2] he was not a McDonalds selectee." Is there any reason why he wasn't selected? If not, it's fine.
    • Basically some selectors thought he was top 20 or top 24 and others did not. I don't know how many McDs selected last year, but he was outside the cutoff at the time of selection.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:51, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
College career
  • "eight field goals in a November 12 91–54 victory against" the 12 91 part looks weird to me for some reason. I'd try to reword it to something like "eight field goals in a 91–54 victory on November 12"

Result: Kept. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:30, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article was promoted back in 2012-2013, and while it met the standard at that time, in the meantime Robinson has essentially played his entire professional career. As a result, the article has atrophied, with 2018 onward in particular being sorely lacking in depth and the personal life section turning into a mess. The lead as well needs a complete rewrite.

    Noting as a post-closure comment that I reviewed the changes and am satisfied so I'm fine with this being kept as a GA. Wizardman 23:57, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
