Akwasi Frimpong

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable athlete. Has not competed in the highest level of any sport to make him notable. Trying to qualify for the Olympics is not notable. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 04:43, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. Notability is not based on what a person did (at least not directly), but on coverage of said person. The buttload of biographical sources indicate that he meets WP:SPORTBASIC. Of course, not all those sources are equally reliable, but a whole biography in Salt Lake City's oldest daily newspaper surely says passes WP:GNG. --HyperGaruda (talk) 16:10, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable in secondary sources, article is puff piece. Denarivs (talk) 02:39, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep I think the Deseret News source is enough to pass GNG. The article needs to be edited, but that does not prove he is other than notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:38, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a hard call for me. I want to keep the article. I want to keep an article on a black man who came to Utah and married a blonde, white woman there. Especially since the subject is a native of Ghana. However I just can't work out a way to justify keeping the article. The Deseret News article may just be at the level we would need to pass GNG, but GNG requires multiple articles, just one will not pass GNG. The UVU press release on Frimpong competing in the upcoming world skeleton competition is not enough. If Frimpong goes to the 2022 Olympics as a competitor, he will be notable. If people can identify a lot of quality, reliable, secondary sources that provide substantial coverage of Frimpong, than an article is justified. So far we have one, and that is not enough.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:46, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment This source shows that the goal to go to the Olympics in 2022 has some force behind it. Still it is also a press release, so not really usable as a source towards notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:52, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep I think there are enough sources to demonstrate basic notability. It is a tough call, but I think this person at least barely crosses the notability threshold. Steve Quinn (talk) 23:34, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete as non-notable. The article also appears to contain a lot of original research and unencyclopedic content. Laurdecl talk 01:33, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Competes at the 2017 Worlds, should be notable then. Kante4 (talk) 14:14, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
