Bernard Tomic
An under-13 tennis player. He may become good one day, but there are many child wonders who never convert to the top echelons. It doesn't seem that he is notable on accounts of publicity, for the moment.ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 01:17, 9 May 2006 (UTC)


 * What? Wikipedia isn't a crystal ball? Delete. Keep per Kevin1243. Mea culpa for not doing a better job of checking this topic out. As penance, I volunteer to take on the task of reworking the article myself. Sounds like an interesting topic. Aplomado  talk 01:27, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I cleaned it up a bit. See how you all like it. Aplomado  talk 03:29, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment looks a lot more respectable now Ans  e  ll  03:38, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup. Fox News quotes "His extraordinary success was hailed as a "significant accomplishment" by Tennis Australia" earlier this year. There have also been articles in the Herald Sun and The Sydney Morning Herald. Kevin 01:57, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per Kevin. JoshuaZ 02:06, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete The fact that he is 13 does not make him encyclopedic....let's wait until he wins a major OSU80 03:14, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep He is notable for his age, which IMO makes him encyclopedic given the results. Winning two overseas tournaments is enough for his age. Needs to be NPOV'd but apart from that looks good. Ans  e  ll  03:17, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Dlohcierekim 04:44, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup Repeated comments about talent in notable journals is good evidence for a notable biography, WP:BIO refers.  (aeropagitica)    (talk)   04:47, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable enough per media attention, achievements, and age. E WS23 | (Leave me a message!) 04:55, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, definitely notable at such a tender age, winning two international tournaments is very good for a 13+ year old boy, meets WP:BIO as he gets frequent media attention of his acheivements. A cleanup will be better. --Ter e nce Ong 06:49, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep. Notable athlete. Just because he's a minor and not yet part of the American commercial sports machine doesn't mean he doesn't need an article.  Aguerriero  ( ţ ) ( ć ) ( ë ) 14:23, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
