Just some quick comments, the repitive use of "he" is annoying Done. I noticed some of your sentences are a couple words long and start with "he". The personal life section needs to be expanded. I'll give a full list of comments later JDOG555 (talk) 21:31, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
The lead for this article is good only 2 things I would consider changing or removing Lead seems pretty good, can't seem anything wrong with it
"He has endured disciplinary issues that have necessitated transfers in both high school and college." Is this neccessary? Sounds kinda uneeded to me.
Unless you think it is misleading or POV it should remain, IMO. So much of the text describes the issues at Minnesota, that I can't see how you could summarize the article and not include at least that.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:22, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
"His success at the college and professional level is highly anticipated." I would suggest removing this statement, too bias.
This is also a summary of points in the text: 1.) expected NBA first rounder 2.) Big 12 Preseason Newcomeer of the Year. Considering the specific prose it is summarizing, is it still biased?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:25, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
Aside from his honors and championships, I don't know of any relevant highlights. He may have lead the Minneapolis City leagues in scoring or something, but I have no sources for that.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:29, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
First line "Born in Minneapolis," expand to something like "Born in Minneapolis, White went to DeLaSalle High School for his freshman to junior years. For his senior year, White went to Hopkins High School. Done
I just can't see how it is really relevant, if you decide to keep it I would suggest changing the wording for "beefed up" JDOG555 (talk) 02:12, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
Rewrite "He transferred to Iowa State prior to using any of his athletic eligibility at Minnesota and applied to the NCAA for a waiver to be eligible to play during the 2010–11 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The NCAA denied his waiver." to something like "He transferred to Iowa State prior to using any of his athletic eligibility at Minnesota and applied to the NCAA for a waiver to be eligible to play during the 2010–11 NCAA Division I men's basketball season, but his waiver was denied."
Well it said "While suspended from the team, he spent some of his extracurricular time on his music career." Add some details about his musical career maybe JDOG555 (talk) 02:14, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

This article seems to have way too many details about his career in comparison to players with similar careers (decent college players, insignificant NBA career)...the daily updates/articles about his NBA status, extremely high number of pictures of his 1 season in college...
Seems like this page needs to be edited to a much, much more concise version where you don't have to read about every college game and every article written about his NBA career. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TallKidIsTall (talk • contribs) 03:26, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
Agreed. I just did a major overhaul to make it more concise and readable. I have no idea how this was ever listed as a good article. It's not even a good article now with all the changes I made; it was nowhere close to being a good article before. MonMothma (talk) 21:26, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
Royce White NBL Canada MVP detail
Latest comment: 7 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion
TonyTheTiger I can't find information on who the other contenders are. I assume they are the other members of the all-league team but that info isn't public either. I haven't seen the NBL Canada release that info in past seasons until after the postseason. The league made the announcement on this page . TempleM (talk) 00:44, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Parts of this article appear to have either been written by the subject or his publicist.
The opening description of him as a "humanitarian" and a "creator" are not objective terms.
The final paragraph of the opening section "White frequently challenges the fundamentals of capitalism and corporate culture and how the two are a major roadblock to achieving a better social equity and quality. White claims a business style of social entrepreneurship. A concept that is becoming very popular amongst millennial entrepreneurs.[4]" are not objective and clearly meant to be complimentary.
This article has also had negative comments and depictions of him and his behavior removed from the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Golotaguy (talk • contribs) 18:43, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

I've updated and incorporated some of the material from this SI article into White's page; namely, his training and plans to have his first MMA fight this year, and a quote from an unnamed NBA GM describing him as a "Curt Flood-type" figure for his efforts to bring more attention to mental health in the sport. White is still primarily notable for his tenure in the NBA, so it would be premature to identify him as an MMA fighter until he's begun to participate in matches.

The article is woefully outdated. It does not include enough details about White's recent political activities, public statements, or his recently announced campaign for congress (MN-05). Also, as others have pointed out on the talk page, negative edits tend be removed quickly (possibly by a PR team?). It no longer meets the criteria for a good article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minneapples (talk • contribs) 17:15, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
