Do keep in mind, Taekwondo is not cricket. It's growing unlike other unconventional sport and not a single athlete in india qualified or won medal in olympics due to multiple factors but that doesn't mean the athletes are not notable. kindly check D section of WP:BEFORE. Don't be bias and do injustice to the termm Wikipedia Notability by deleting articles intentionally and specifically of taekwondo athletes. Divineplus (talk) 17:17, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete Non notable athlete who has not won any notable championships. Fails WP:ATHLETE. Lethweimaster (talk) 14:03, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep- Kindly review the sources cited, It clearly proves the notability of a given article, Hence it passes WP:ATHLETE. *Note- Kindly have a basic understanding of Taekwondo in India and sports in India. Do check the World Taekwondo simply compete website for more. He won bronze medal in World Taekwondo G-2 Championship 2020 in Dubai and gold in national games 2018 which are clearly cited by reliable news sources. Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation (Government Body) itself mentioned and posted about him on social platforms.
 * Can you please specify which reliable sources supply significant independent coverage? Interviews, simple reporting of results, or statements about competing in upcoming tournaments do not supply such coverage.  As for his results, he is not even close to meeting WP:MANOTE.  His bronze medal came in one of many G2 tournaments annually, not a world championship.  A G2 tournament is a long way from a world championship (rated G12).

 * Sure, Here's the list:
 * IndiaTv, ANI, The Print, News 18, Firstsportz which are showing significant coverage. Also do check other taekwondo athletes coverage because they are interviews, simple reporting of results, or statements. They should be deleted as well with this logic. @Papaursa They are not celebrities who will get independent coverage on their personal lives just like bollywood stars get but sportspersons who will be covered for their sports interviews, statements or results of a championship.

 * I can't consider the sources that say he won a bronze at the taekwondo world championships very reliable when they obviously have the facts wrong. Being chosen for a relatively minor competition (in taekwondo) after failing to make India's team for the Asian championships, a local news interview, and an interview instigated by the subject fail to show he meets WP:GNG.  I didn't look at other taekwondo articles since that falls under WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Papaursa (talk) 10:18, 25 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails in WP:ATHLETE, not a part of any notable tournament Worldiswide (talk) 01:28, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete As mentioned above, I do not find the sources sufficient to meet WP:GNG. I also don't believe he meets the notability criteria for martial artists.  His third place finish at a G-2 tournament is considered by the world taekwondo organization to be worth less than being in the top 64 at a world championship (which would hardly be considered WP notable).  This is the third time this article has been created since 2020 and he hasn't had any tournament success since the first nomination. Papaursa (talk) 10:18, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
