Does not satisfy sports notability or general notability. Google search does not turn up anything other than his own pages. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:21, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

All of his results won't come up on a google search because they are all included in PDF's on the Referenced websites. Can provide Newspaper Articles and result PDF's If needed. Incredablemra (talk) 21:20, 25 February 2018 (UTC) incredablemra

I have added some result PDF's as well as a few News articles. Let me know if anything else needs to be added/ Done to create the page. Incredablemra (talk) 21:43, 25 February 2018 (UTC) Incredablenmra

What ways can I prevent Deletion? Anything to add/ Take away? As stated, I can (and have) added result PDF's aswell as Newspaper articles. also google 'Arman soheili Biathlon' for more info (Team Bc nominations, etc.) Incredablemra (talk) 19:39, 26 February 2018 (UTC) Incredablemra I am his father, I made this in hopes to use it to promote my son even more on the international scale. After reading the sports notiability section, I do agree that because he is not on the world level yet ( he hopes to be next year) that he and the pages dont meet all requirements for a wikipedia page.

 * Delete per nom. If delete, delete also User:Incredablemra/sandbox, see also Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Incredablemra/sandbox.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:31, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Sportspeople are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, but nothing here passes WP:NSPORT — he'd have to be competing at the Olympics or the World Biathlon Championships to qualify for an article, not just any lower-level regional biathlon championship that exists. What would you have to do to prevent deletion? Get him into a competition that actually constitutes a reason for him to have a Wikipedia article, that's what. Also, Incredablemra, I strongly suspect that you wrote about yourself here, so please familiarize yourself with our conflict of interest rules. Bearcat (talk) 04:30, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete, as he doesn't appear to have any notable accomplishments so far.  PK  T (alk)  14:05, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Does deletion of this page prevent him from getting one in the future? He is being scouted by Youth/Jr. Team Canada right now and we expect him to be on the IBU (International Biathlon Union) team in the next 3-4 years which would then make him eligible at that time, If I am correct?

 * No, deletion doesn't prevent an article from being recreated in the future if and when the notability equation changes. Deletion is much more a matter of WP:TOOSOON than "never" — if he achieves something in the future that satisfies our notability and sourcing standards more clearly than he does today, then yes, a new article can absolutely be recreated at that time. But it will have to be recreated in a neutral and encyclopedic format, not as a promotional profile. Bearcat (talk) 16:58, 28 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is very sensitive about being used for promotion, and reacts strongly against it. I recommend Facebook, or buying a private website. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:38, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Strong delete It is bad enough that we have ridiculously low notability guidelines for sportspeople. We need to act with all possible speed to remove junk promotional articles on sports people.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:48, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete no sign of meeting the SNG, and explicitly promotional. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 06:12, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
