Arif Akhundov

Fails WP:NSPORT. The dude competed in the Olympics but didn't move into the next round. There is only 1 Google News reference for him, which is a table, not an article. CerealKillerYum (talk) 16:12, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep: Meets WP:NTRACK#1, and thus is presumed notable. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 16:49, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
 * The top of WP:NTRACK, which is also the top of WP:NSPORT, says "Please note that the failure to meet these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted; conversely, the meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept." So, therefore, meeting WP:NTRACK #1 doesn't mean that Arif Akhundov should be kept. CerealKillerYum (talk) 01:48, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Note: Native spelling is "Arif Axundov". His LinkedIn page contains potential claims of other notability against NTRACK, which are not supported by currently available online sources, but which would be (expected to be) supportable by physical sources. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 02:57, 29 May 2016 (UTC):
 * How are we supposed to verify that? I don't think those sources would be in English and we can't just take him for his word, that's against WP:V. CerealKillerYum (talk) 16:36, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Well WP:BEFORE#B6 lists checking native-language sources, so the fact that sources might not in English isn't an issue. Not suggesting that these claims should be incorporated into the article without verifying, just that there are (in addition to his existing Olympics claim) multiple other claims of notability that could be sourced (probably from offline native-language and/or specialist sources). ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 07:45, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep He competed in the olympics. All olympic competitors are deemed notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:18, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:NTRACK #1 and WP:NOLYMPICS. It is true that athletes meeting WP:NTRACK are merely presumed to be notable. However, previous discussions regarding similar Olympic athletes have revealed Wikipedians' reluctance in rebutting this strong presumption, even if there is a lack of sufficient reliable sources. --Dps04 (talk) 17:57, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
 * SNOW Keep and I nearly closed myself as getting to the Olympics is enough for a notable article. SwisterTwister   talk  05:23, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
