advice and explanation
All of this back and forth is undoubtedly confusing. The problem is, that although I am an administrator, and can delete and move articles, I have zero knowledge of the sport. The notability of an athlete is judged by WP:ATHLETE; as you will see there. it depends primarily on the level of the competition. There are people here who do know the sport, and they will look at it and get agreement. It would help if you could find some news stories about him--they do not have to be on line. The club undoubtedly has press clippings, and the local libraries will have the area's newspapers. Add what you can. The discussion will continue for 7 days unless the answer becomes obvious earlier.

If you want to add additional people from the club, be guided by what is said at the AfD discussion.  DGG ( talk ) 15:07, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
