Author contested prod. Proded because he is nn skier with one professional race where he came in 120th out of 130. Postcard Cathy (talk) 14:41, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 * almost sounds like a sitcom line or something there! Not sure if it makes him notable or not, I mean he was in a professional race it seems but not the Olympics though. I'm iffy on this guy for now. Wgolf (talk) 15:55, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment. The subject seems technically to meet WP:NSPORTS through competing at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, a world championship in an Olympic sport. However, the subject is clearly rather below normal Olympic standard, qualifying only as the best available competitor from a country without much activity in the sport.

 * Delete It would be stretching a technicality to say he meets WP:NSPORTS. In individual sports finishing 120th is hardly worthy of note (who remembers the 120th best swimmer?). No other references besides the ski results makes this practically an unsourced BLP. Fails WP:GNG. 204.126.132.231 (talk) 21:54, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Individual does not meet, WP:GNG or WP:NSPORTS. only some of the sports listed allow for world championship inclusion, Skiing and Winter sports are not listed. WP:SPORTCRIT should be used, and the only reference used on the article falls under WP:ROUTINE. Murry1975 (talk) 20:31, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete doesn't meet WP:GNG. I did manage to find this article about him, so technically not entirely unsourced, but it's not enough to meet the mutiple source significant coverage requirement. He's a late newcomer to the sport, so unlikely to develop a lengthy career. Fuebaey (talk) 02:40, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
