 * Keep. Participated in more than one World Championships, I think. See also Eastmain (talk • contribs) 05:18, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * He competed at 4 adult world championships, but only won 1 match so he never advanced past the round of 64. His highest world ranking ever was 105th.  I added this information to the article.  As for his notability, the coverage appears to be local and/or routine sports reporting.  I don't think his performances rise to the level of meeting WP:NSPORTS, but others may disagree.  I'm refraining from voting at this moment. Papaursa (talk) 20:10, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * delete The FIE Senior World Championships are an annual event with nearly 1000 competitors. Don't believe just being there is sufficient to give automatic notability and he hasn't had much success there. Coverage does not meet the GNG.Sandals1 (talk) 14:41, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete The sources are routine sports coverage, primarily of high school and FIE junior events, which is insufficient to meet WP:GNG. As for meeting WP:NSPORT, Sandals1 makes a good point about the size of the FIE world championships.  This level of performance as a karateka, judoka, or taekwondo practitioner would never qualify as meeting the notability criteria of WP:MANOTE or WP:NSPORTS.  Many people with more successful international careers have been eliminated at Afd discussions (yes, I know about WP:OTHERSTUFF).  I don't think mere participation at annual events this large shows notability without either better coverage or better results.  A current world ranking of 647th indicates he's trending in the wrong direction and is unlikely to become more notable as a fencer. Papaursa (talk) 00:40, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
