Autobiography of a non-notable tennis player. They don't pass WP:GNG due to a lack of coverage (only minor coverage of a Twitter argument), and don't pass WP:NTENNIS either, as "junior players are presumed notable if they've won at least a junior Grand slam title, have been in the top 3 of the junior ITF world rankings or can be shown to meet the wider requirements of WP:GNG."- none of which apply to this person.

Delete fails to meet WP:GNG. Amortias (T)(C) 22:38, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

I am choosing to improve the article to address the concerns raised in this discussion, I am happy for my profiles on ITF and ATP to be used as a reference to all things on my page. If you still feel like this does not suffice, please contact me or the tennis association to confirm all information given. CJAllport 23:41, 17 July 2015


 * You or your tennis federation are not reliable sources. ITF and ATP stats will show you exist, but not why you're notable, as the coverage is standard for any young tennis player. Having only won a minor junior tennis tournament (not a Grand Slam), you aren't a notable enough tennis player. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:44, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

As is the case that I have only won one minor junior tennis tournament, however after that win I achieved a world ITF juniors double ranking of 2 in October 2013. Meaning that I do pass one of the requirements given in Joseph2302's earlier message. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CJAllport (talk • contribs)
 * Please provide a reliable source to show this, claiming to be notable without a reliable source is not valid. I cannot find any source saying this is true. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:54, 17 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete - this is clearly a hoax. None of the "references" even reference the subject.--Rpclod (talk) 02:14, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete - yep, we've been scammed. The tennis websites link to Callum KEMPE. starship.paint ~  KO   07:48, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Does not meet WP:NTENNIS or WP:GNG. Even if the player has changed his surname as claimed on the talk page, it is still not close to notability (and the player linked has a different birthday). The doubles tournament he has claimed to have won, was won by Bambridge and Evan Hoyt, but it wouldn't have met notability criteria anyway Also, if you look at the user's contributions you'll see that the user has been vandalising other tennis articles by changing other player's names to his in tournament draws and results tables.
