 * Weak Keep - Subject won gold at a big international competition, and has set a speed record in his own country. Bella the Ball (talk) 11:45, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
 * A speed record in the 17 year old British Age Group, which isn't quite the same--Pontificalibus (talk) 14:35, 26 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete Doesn't meet WP:GNG - no significant coverage in reliable sources. WP:ATHLETE isn't too helpful for swimmers, but suggests any athlete should have competed at "the highest level such as the Olympics" which is not the case here.--Pontificalibus (talk) 14:35, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Your case is stronger than mine. As I said, weak keep, can easily be persuaded to downgrade, pending further discussion. Bella the Ball (talk) 14:38, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
