The result was delete. Arguments to keep rely on WP:NATHLETE, and the fact that this individual has competed in a high-level tournament of his chosen sport; however, that guideline explicitly says; "In addition, the subjects of standalone articles should meet the General Notability Guideline." This is clearly not the case here. Vanamonde (Talk) 04:56, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - Updated profile has him competing in the FIBT World Championships 2011. This meets notability on sports. I am using Athletics (Track & Field) criteria as a reference. Chris (talk) 16:41, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Looks like this fails the GNG as it is never likely to be more than a sentence or two. There has to be enough to produce a readable narrative. No Great Shaker (talk) 23:11, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Has competed in the world championship in his sport. Meets WP:ATHLETE. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:29, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. Perfectly acceptable stub (give or take a source or two, and they do exist) on a world-level athlete who is clearly of encyclopedic interest. --Michig (talk) 17:24, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - no references - has not "been the subject of multiple published non-trivial secondary sources" as per WP:SPORTCRIT - no wins or other notable achievements, simply competing is not grounds for notability - clear fail of WP:BASIC notability guidelines - therefore, delete - Epinoia (talk) 01:13, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:GNG. Fails Notability (sports) which states "standalone articles are required to meet the General Notability Guideline" and that WP:ATHLETE is simply "guidance to enable editors to determine quickly if a subject is likely to meet the General Notability Guideline". Many sport-specific guidelines seem to be failing to do that.Pontificalibus 10:47, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - There is very little information, and there is no references. The page itself is very disorganised, and does not look like an encyclopedia article to me. --Wyatt2049 &#124; (talk) 11:16, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
