 * Keep the article does not have much information but he had world records in his sport, won international competitions, was as high as second in the national league, and inducted into a hall of fame as per this reliable source, also book sources here, and here Atlantic306 (talk) 15:39, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Much of the obit is unverified, family reported info. He's not that well known. There's national bowlers of the year that still don't have articles here. Fronticla (talk) 20:26, 9 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep Meets WP:ATHLETE criteria for competing at the international level. Argument "nothing of national acclaim" is invalid. Obit was written by newspaper's sports writer. Was there some specific info from obit that was in the article that was incorrect? Lack of other articles does not justify deletion of this article. StrayBolt (talk) 20:47, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
