I spoke to BB-Marin about this issue and he told me that there was an entry years ago, but it got deleted (don't know why).

found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_delet.... It explains why it got deleted in 2008.

ideas, suggestions?

I think before writing it, you should try to make sure it won't just get deleted again. Maybe find sources, links, reviews...? I saw that there was a 2nd entry made & deleted in 2010. So be aware of that!

Nice, thank you!
The page has been deleted because it had no references and seemed to be an advertisement more than an article. I think this time BBs have to give us some precise references :)
I've already taken a look to the spanish page, but I'd like to start fresh (even though we can use it for a general idea).
The reason why the spanish and hungarian articles haven't been deleted is merely that every wikipedia has its rules and community... I mean: rules are (should be) the same, but some communities are more severe than others (as you can see the spanish entry as no reference at all). To me, this is madness, like in this situation you have a spanish article which is ok, and the english one has been deleted.

Off topic -- Can Italian speakers understand written Spanish? (for example, I can't write or speak Portuguese, but can read & understand it.) Just curious.

I can understand the general meaning just because 8 words out of 10 are really similar to italian.

Ummm... I've got this:

Ugh, sorry but this is a great work, but not worth being on wikipedia, I think :)

If I get this right, you're listing the game players who have won most B3 titles?

What we should care here, I think, are just teams :)

Here's an example from the BuzzerBeater log-in page:
Spanish: "¡Bienvenido a BuzzerBeater! El mayor juego de Mánager de Baloncesto del mundo "

Portuguese: "Bem-vindo ao BuzzerBeater! O maior jogo de gestão de basquetebol do mundo"

So you can see how they are mutually intelligible. Someone can say "bem vindo" or I can say "bienvenido" & we both will understand that means "welcome".

But even among non-similar languages, there are related words. Like there's a Brazilian band named "Sepultura". English has the word "sepulture" (though rarely used), so even if I didn't know Spanish, I would still understand the meaning. That's what makes understanding much simpler than speaking.

More B3 titles, more World Cup titles and more Continental titles (European, etc.).

Actually there are two players winners of B3, World Championship and Continental Championship: Tapia and Delgadillo (B3 with VS, and World/Continental Championship with Chile).

I've found a one you can use: (http://www.masshightech.com/stories/2008/08/04/weekly5-Vi...) A few more like that should satisfy Wikipedia? (didn't have a chance to look at their rules yet)

Thanks. To me, the few times I've heard Italian the accent seems much easier than Portuguese. Just wasn't sure if written Spanish & written Italian were similar enough to understand each other.

Ok. But what I meant is that we should focus only on teams, and not players ;)

This is a good reference. There is no indication about the number of references (just forum and/or fan blogs are usually deprecated, but accepted), as you can see it's variable (e.g. the spanish entry with no references at all).
I guess 2 or 3 more of that links should be fine. We could also speak to our new mint bloggers, maybe they could write an article about the history of BB. That could be interesting for the community and we could use it as reference.

The hungarian http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buzzerbeater version was translated by me in 2008, from the original english version (and added some extra information) but because of lack of time it is not too up-to-date now.
