Ah, KD is a GAN. So exciting to see. Anyway, I'll take up this review. I will be upfront that I am a competitor currently involved in WikiCup. I will begin my section-by-section and then we can work on the lead. Thanks. Sportsguy17 (T • C) 03:27, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
- OK, I have had a first look and I have some very major concerns (I am using another WikiProject NBA GA LeBron James as a role model for what the article should look like). First thing is the headings for the sections in his career do not comply with WP:WTW nor are professional. Break it up into Level 3 headings by team (since OKC were the Supersonics when Durant was drafted) and use Level 4 headers for the seasons. For the first sentence of the third paragraph in Life outside basketball is better suited in the Public image or the Player Profile section. Also, cite his awards and statistics with his profile from Basketball-Reference. Fix those issues and then some expansion in the seasons section can have us heading in the right direction.

- Thanks for the input. I have edited the section headers as requested. A little confused about the other requests. The first sentence in LOB is about his agent, which is paired with information about his endorsements - the same way it is in the LeBron article. Both the awards and statistics section have citations to Basketball Reference already. Not sure what else can be added to the seasons section; any ideas would be greatly appreciated.--Ktmartell (talk) 00:48, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- Well, the 2008-09 season only has one section talking about him. There are some season statistics, but not much more. Perhaps add some notable moments. Also, I was talking about the first sentence of the third paragraph in the LOB section, not the first. The agents bit belongs where it is. And then we also need more about his current residence and family in the LOB section. Then we'll expand the lead accordingly, and then we're looking at a GA.

- Oops! Apologies for my misunderstanding. Had some time this morning so was able to work on some things. The LOB section has been re-vamped. I added information about his Most Improved Player candidacy to 2009 and beefed up the lead a little bit. Let me know if anything else needs to be done; thanks again.--Ktmartell (talk) 15:05, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
- Sweet! I am passing the article. These fixes resulted in vast improvements of this article. Its such an honor to be the one to pass this article. I did one last spot check and it meets all criterion and mechanics of sentences look good, so this is a pass. Sportsguy17 (T • C) 16:24, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
