 * Comment: He may be notable for representing Australia in the Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992.--Grahame (talk) 00:50, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:NOLYMPICS. I am confused though. The official Australian Olympics website says he competed in the 90kg class, yet our summary of the event doesn't include such a division. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:59, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - clearly passes WP:NOLYMPICS per . In response to AtHomeIn神戸, defining weight categories can sometimes be difficult as they are often just labelled e.g. "heavyweight" with no actually specified kg in the title. Best place to confirm we have those categories correct would be the official Olympic Reports - Ba se me nt 12  (T.C) 09:47, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep As per above, he meets WP:NOLYMPICS / WP:Notability (sports), and I can see no justifiable reason to otherwise remove the article. AtHomeIn神戸, our(WP) version of the event is correct; the event is the "Judo mens half-heavyweightmiddleweight" which in the 1992 Olympics was 86-95kg78-86kg; in subsequent Olympics however, the Judo half-heavyweight middleweight category was set to 90kg, which is probably the cause of the error in the Australian reference and within the Chris Bacon article. The official event details, Which you can see here: show this. Both articles should be improved to reflect this. Aeonx (talk) 11:14, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Update - Found some additional references, including multiple wide-spread news sources (BBC); Chris Bacon is very notable and of encyclopedic value, being multiple-times Australian Judo champion, Bronze medalist, Olympian, and well-known and reported on British boxer.

 * Update 2 - The AfD requester is a relatively new Wikipedian, with very few edits. See: Aeonx (talk) 12:18, 4 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep Seems pretty clear that he meets the notability criteria for athletes. He's not notable for his MMA or boxing, but his record as a judoka and Olympian is sufficient. Papaursa (talk) 05:17, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
